INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Surf/Share Wireless

USB Adapter. Now you can take advantage of this great new

technology and gain the freedom to network your home and

office computers wirelessly. This Adapter allows you to connect

a notebook or desktop computer to your network. Please be

sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay

special attention to the section titled, “Placement of your

Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance.”

Benefits of a Home Network

Your Belkin Home Network will allow you to:

• Share one high-speed Internet connection

with all the computers in your home

• Share resources, such as files, and hard drives among

all the connected computers in your home

• Share a single printer with the entire family

• Share documents, music, video, and digital pictures

• Store, retrieve, and copy files from one computer to another

• Simultaneously play games online, check Internet email, and chat

INTRODUCTION

Advantages of a Wireless Network

• Mobility – you’ll no longer need a dedicated “computer

room”—now you can work on a networked laptop or

desktop computer anywhere within your wireless range

• Easy installation – Belkin Easy Installation

Wizards make setup simple

• Flexibility – set up and access printers, computers, and

other networking devices from anywhere in your home

• Easy expansion – the wide range of Belkin networking

products let you expand your network to include

devices such as printers and gaming consoles

• No cabling required – you can spare the expense and hassle

of retrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout the home or office

• Widespread industry acceptance – choose from a

wide range of interoperable networking products

INTRODUCTION

Placement of your Wireless Networking

Hardware for Optimal Performance

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer

is to your wireless router (or access point). Typical indoor operating

range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the

same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade

somewhat as the distance between your wireless router (or access

point) and connected devices increases. This may or may not be

noticeable to you. As you move farther from your wireless router

(or access point), connection speed may decrease. Factors that

can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s

radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might

be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer

to a position between five and 10 feet from the wireless router (or

access point) in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties

persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network

performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from

functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating

at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

INTRODUCTION

1. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point)

Place your wireless router (or access point), the central

connection point of your network, as close as possible

to the center of your wireless network devices.

To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless

clients,” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Adapters or Cards):

• Ensure that your wireless router’s (or access point’s)

antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned

vertically (toward the ceiling). If your wireless router (or

access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the

antennas as much as possible in an upward direction.

• In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or access point) on a

floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible. This may

mean placing the wireless router (or access point) on an upper floor.

• Try not to place the wireless router (or access

point) near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your wireless router (or access point) near devices

that may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Other

objects that can inhibit wireless communication can include:

• Refrigerators

• Washers and/or dryers

• Metal cabinets

• Large aquariums

• Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows

• Microwaves

If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure

that objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path

between your computers and wireless router (or access point).

INTRODUCTION

3. Cordless Phone Placement

If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after

attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from the wireless router

(or access point) and your wireless-enabled computers.

• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that

operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information).

If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.

• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel

on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network

as possible. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and

move your wireless router (or access point) to channel 11.

(Your channel selection will vary depending on your region.)

See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

• If necessary, consider switching to a

900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.

4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network

In locations where homes or offices are close together, such

as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be

wireless networks nearby that can conflict with yours. Use the

Site Survey capabilities of your Belkin Wireless Networking

Utility to locate any other wireless networks, and move

your wireless router (or access point) and computers to a

channel as far away from other networks as possible.

Experiment with more than one of the available channels in

order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference

from neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

For more Belkin wireless networking products,

use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel

information included in your User Manual.

INTRODUCTION

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and

are used where security is important. Secure connections include:

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often

used to connect remotely to an office network

• The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America

Online (AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband

provided by another cable or DSL service

• Most online banking websites

• Many commercial websites that require a user

name and password to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power

management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The simplest

solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by re-running the

VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.

A second alternative is to change your computer’s power

management settings so it does not go to sleep; however,

this may not be appropriate for portable computers. To

change your power management setting in Windows,

see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections,

VPNs, and AOL, please review steps 1–4 in the previous

pages to be sure you have addressed these issues.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible

area with your wireless router. Should you need to cover an even wider

area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.
