Manually Configuring your Router
WPA-PSK (no server)
This method uses what is known as a
WPA (with 802.1x radius server)
With this system, a radius server distributes the Network key to the clients automatically. This is typically found in a business environment.
WPA2
The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of WPA based 802.11i standard. It offers higher level of wireless security by combining advanced network authentication and stronger AES encryption method.
WPA2 Requirements
IMPORTANT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, a couple security patches are available, for free download, from Microsoft. These patches work only with the Windows XP operating system. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.
For Windows XP computer that does not have Service Pack 2 (SP2), a file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless Protected Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at http://support. microsoft.com/?kbid=826942
For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2 (KB893357). The update can be download from: http://support.microsoft.
IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client cards / adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed the latest driver. Most of the Belkin Wireless cards have update driver available for download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/networking.
