Note:

To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to

drivers and software that support WPA security. At the time of

from Microsoft. This patch works only with the Windows XP

operating system.

You can find the patch to download from Microsoft by searching the

knowledge base for Windows XP WPA. Click on the “Downloads”

link. You will find a page entitled “Windows XP Support Patch for

Wi-Fi Protected Access”.

Wireless Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin

support site. Other operating systems are not supported at this

time. Microsoft’s patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled

drivers such as Belkin 802.11g products.
