Introduction

section

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless G Notebook Card. Now

you can take advantage of this great new technology and gain the

freedom to network your home and office computers wirelessly. This

Card allows you to connect a notebook computer to your network.

Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay

special attention to the section entitled “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

Advantages of a Wireless Network

Here are some of the advantages of setting up a Belkin 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

lets 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.

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 Wireless Notebook Cards, Wireless

Desktop Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

• 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.

Introduction

section

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

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).

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.

Introduction

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 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.

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 above 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.
