HI,
I have a Belkin router FD7230-4 connected to XP home computers. I want to set security encryption to
WPA PSK on my computers to conform with the settings of the router. Where in XP are these settings
located? If I set the encryption on my router and not on my computers I won't be able to acccess the
internet. Also what is a pass phrase? Is this the password for the belkin modem? I've been to belkin
and google for a week and I am very confused. Please anyone if you have any info. I would be very
appreciative.
Thanks, Don

A pass phrase is the encryption key(PSK) you set up for your network. You
have to set the
PSK up for the router and then enter the PSK into each device that you want
to connect to your
network.

you have to set the 'key' on the router first. Then when you go to
connect w/ each of your systems they *should* pop-up with a dialog box
asking for the key, so write it down, carefully, or you'll be resetting
your router.

is the 'pass-phrase' on the router side? if yes, then yes.
