Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility
WPA
WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features
of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless
equipment must be upgraded to support it. These updates will be found
on your wireless vendor's website. There are three types of WPA security:
WPA-PSK (no server),WPA (with radius server), and WPA2.
WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the
network key. A network key is a password that is between eight and
63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or
characters. Each client uses the same network key to access the network.
Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment.
WPA (with radius server) works best in a business environment,
in which a radius server automatically distributes the network
key to clients.
WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for
encryption of data, which offers much greater security than
WPA. WPA uses both Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
and AES for encryption.
Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point)
to use Security
To start using security, you need to first enable WEP or WPA for
your wireless router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers
(or Access Points), these security features can be configured by using
the web-based interface. See your wireless router's (or access point's)
manual for directions on how to access the management interface.
IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters
to match these settings.
