Placing the Belkin Wireless USB Network Adapter

A six-foot USB cable is provided with the Adapter to allow you to place it as high as possible. The best location is on top of

your computer’s monitor. Placing the Adapter on your desktop is acceptable, however, avoid placing the adapter near

metal objects such as a computer case or speakers. Any object that is metal has the ability to block the radio signals from

the Adapter.

Installing and setting up the Adapter

Installing your Adapter is done in three easy steps.

1. Install the software FIRST. If you connect your adapter to your PC before you install the software, it will not work

until you install the software.

16. Click on “Install” to proceed with installation.

17. Click on “Continue Installation” to install files.

18. Click on “Restart” to reboot you machine. While the computer is rebooting, plug the USB cable into the adapter

and connect it to an available USB port on your PC or USB hub.

NOTE: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FIRST BEFORE YOU CONNECT THE ADAPTER TO YOUR COMPUTER

Step 2: Connect the Adapter to you MAC

1. While the computer is rebooting, plug the USB cable into the adapter and connect it to an available USB port on

your PC or USB hub.

Step 3: Configure the Adapter and MAC TCPIP Settings

1. After rebooting the computer, the adapter will be installed. Click on the Apple Menu and select System

Preferences. In System Preferences, select the Network Preferences. You will be notified that a new Ethernet

adapter has been added to the system. It will be called Ethernet Adapter (en”x”), where “x” is the next available

Ethernet adapter number.

2. Next to Show, select the new Ethernet Adapter (en”x”).

3. Click on the TCP/IP Tab and configure your TCPIP Settings to match your network. Please contact your system

administrator for these settings. Close the window and click “Save” to save your settings.

4. Close the System Preferences Screen.

5. Double-click on the hard drive.

6. Double-click on “Applications”.

7. Double-click on “Wireless LAN Configuration”

8. The Wireless LAN Configuration Utility will open.

NOTE: If you already have a wireless router or an access point in your home or office, the

Adapter will automatically attempt to connect to your wireless network. In most cases, the

Adapter will be able to connect to your network automatically. If you are using encryption, you

will have to set the encryption settings on your wireless router or access point before the

adapter can successfully connect to your wireless network. For information about configuring

your Adapter, see the next section in this manual.

Connecting to your wireless network

If you already have a wireless router or an access point in your home or office, the Adapter will automatically attempt to

connect to your wireless network. In most cases, the Adapter will be able to connect to your network automatically. If

your wireless network is using encryption, you will need to set the encryption settings of your Adapter to match that of

your wireless network. For information about configuring your Adapter, see the next section in this manual.

Using the Belkin Wireless LAN Monitor Utility

To run the Belkin Wireless LAN Monitor Utility, click on the Hard Drive. Click on the Applications Folder and select

Wireless LAN Configuration. When you launch the Belkin Wireless NIC Configuration Utilty (the Utility), you will be

presented with the screen below.

The General Tab

(a) Network Name

The Network Name is the wireless network name. This field shows the current SSID with which the Adapter is associated.

The default (factory) setting is “ANY” which will cause the Adapter to automatically look for any wireless network in the

area. To connect to a specific wireless network, you can manually enter the SSID of the known wireless network. Note

that the SSID is case-sensitive, so, capital letters do make a difference. To change the SSID, click in the Network SSID

field, type the SSID you want, then click “Apply”.

(b) Operating Mode

Shows the current wireless mode the Adapter is operating in. There are two operating modes: Infrastructure and Peer-to-

Peer. Infrastructure is the most common mode to operate in and is the factory default setting. Use Infrastructure mode

when connecting your PC to a Wireless Access Point or to a Wireless Router. Peer-to-Peer mode is used to connect two or

more computers together without the use of an Access Point or Wireless Router. To change the mode, click the up/down

arrow next to the network mode field. Select the mode you wish to use, then click “Apply”.

Shows the current channel the Adapter is operating on. When operating in Infrastructure mode, the channel is set

automatically by the Access Point or Wireless Router that the Adapter is connected to. You cannot change the channels in

Access Point mode. In Peer-to-Peer mode, the channel can be set manually. For more information about operating in

Peer-to-Peer mode, see Operating in Peer-to-Peer mode.

(d) Preamble Mode

The preamble is a signal used to synchronize the timing between the wireless network Adapter and the Access Point. Some

older wireless equipment may not be able to work if this setting is too short. Leaving this setting to “Auto” is the most

effective way to ensure the Adapter will connect to any wireless network available.

(e) Transmit Rate

Displays the current rate of data transmission. There are four Transmit rates possible:

Fixed 11Mbps –Always transmit and receive at 11Mbps data rate regardless of signal quality

Fixed 5.5Mbps -Always transmit and receive at 5.5Mbps data rate regardless of signal quality

Auto 1Mbps or 2Mbps -Auto transmit and receive at 1Mbps or 2Mbps data rate regardless of signal quality

Auto –Adjust speed according to signal strength. This mode is the recommended setting. It will decrease the amount of

transmit and receive errors by reducing the speed of transmission in favor of receiving error free data. Note that data

being sent at Fixed 11Mbps with low signal quality will not necessarily get the data to the computer faster. This is because

when errors occur, the data must be re-sent. When the signal quality is low, the chances for errors to occur at high speeds

are greatly increased. Sending the data at lower speeds when the signal quality is poor, will reduce the chances of errors,

and thus data will get to the computer in the shortest possible time.

(f) Status

Displays the BSSID (in hexadecimal) of the access point with which the Adapter is associated. If you are connected to a

network, the word “Associated” followed by a series of number (the MAC address of the Access Point) will be displayed.

(g) Signal Strength

Displays the strength of the wireless signal from 0 to 100%. The closer to 100% the better the signal strength is. The closer

you are to a wireless Router or Access Point the stronger the signal should be.

(h) Defaults

Clicking this button will set all values back to default.

The Site Survey Tab

Clicking on the Site Survey Tab will display a list of all available access points in your area. The following information

about each is displayed:

(a) BSSID –The MAC address of the access point

(b) SSID –The Service Set Identifier (wireless network name) of the access point.

(c) Signal Strength –The signal strength of the related access point. This is a “snap-shot” of the signal strength at the

time of the site survey. Pressing the “Rescan” (g) button may get a different result.

(d) BSS –Displays the mode that the access point is operating in: Infrastructure or AD-Hoc

(e) Encryption –Will display “No” when encryption is disabled, 64-bit when 64-bit encryption is enabled and 128-bit

when 128-bit encryption is enabled.

(f) Channel number –The current operating channel of the access point

(g) Rescan –Rescans for available wireless access point and wireless routers.

(h) Apply –Double click on a BSSID (a) and click Apply (h) to select an available wireless access point or wireless

router.

TIP->Double-clicking on the BSSID and clicking Apply (h) of an access point will make the Adapter join that particular

network. To check the area for more access points, click “ReScan”.
