WPA is Wi-Fi Protected Access, one of several popular standards for wireless network security. This WPA is not to be confused with Windows XP Product Activation, a separate technology that is also included with the Microsoft Windows operating system.

Before being able to use Wi-Fi WPA with Windows XP, you may need to upgrade one or more components of your network including the XP operating system and network adapters on some computers as well as the wireless access point.

Follow these instructions to set up WPA on Wi-Fi networks having Windows XP clients.

WPA stands for "Wi-Fi Protected Access," the most recent security standard adopted by the Wi-Fi Alliance® consortium. Go to the Wi-Fi Alliance® (www.wi-fi.org) for more information on WPA.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a certification program administered by the Wi-Fi Alliance to indicate compliance with the security protocol created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. This protocol was created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). The protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared. The protocol is specifically designed to also work with pre-WPA wireless network interface cards that pre-date the protocol (through firmware upgrades), but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. The WPA2 certification mark indicates compliance with an advanced protocol that implements the full standard. This advanced protocol will not work with some older network cards
