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 computers that do 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 is available from: http://support.microsoft.com/

default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;893357

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 driver updates available

for download from the Belkin support site: www.belkin.com/networking.

Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)

Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK) mode

and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal (PSK) is

the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-Enterprise

(RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where an external radius

server distributes the network key to the clients automatically. This guide

will focus on WPA2-Personal (PSK) usage. Please refer to the User

Manual for more information about wireless security and different types of

wireless security.

After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under

1. After you’ve set up your Router, go to the “Security” page under 1.

“Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the “Security

Mode” drop-down menu.

For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or

“WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK”. This setting will have to be identical

on the wireless clients that you set up. “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK”

mode will allow the Router to support clients running either WPA or

WPA2 security.
