Introduction

section

Placement of your Wireless G Router

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

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 further 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 ten 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. Wireless Router or Access Point Placement

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

Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless

USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your Wireless Router’s or Access Point’s

networking 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.

Dense objects that can inhibit Wireless communication 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 Phones

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 Wireless Routers or

Access Points and your wireless-enabled computers

• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone

that operate on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturers

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 furthest channel from your

wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1

and move your Wireless Router or Access Point to channel 11.

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 found in the Wireless LAN Utility

of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that

are available (see your wireless adapter’s manual), and move your

Wireless Router (or Access Point) and computers to a channel as

far away from other networks as possible.

Introduction

section

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 Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site

Survey and wireless channel information included in your

User Guide.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum

possible area with your Wireless Router or Access Point. Should

you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin

Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.

5. Secure connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections are connections that 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 on-line banking websites

• Many commercial websites which require a username 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 web site.

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 under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in

the Control Panel.

If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connection, VPNs and

AOL please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed

these issues.

Product Features

In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and

network your computers. The following is a list of features that

make your new Belkin Wireless G Router an ideal solution for your

home or small office network.

Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers

The Router supports a variety of networking environments including

Mac OS® 8.x, 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 95, 98,

Me, NT®, 2000, and XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet

browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard

language of the Internet).

Front-Panel LED Display

Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions

are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is

connected to the Internet. This feature eliminates the need for

advanced software and status-monitoring procedures.

Built-in USB Print Server

Your router includes a built-in USB print server that lets you print to

a USB printer from any computer on the network. The print server

is very simple to setup and convenient to use. Simply install your

printer’s drivers and software on each computer, and then run the

easy to use Print Server Setup Wizard to setup the print server. In

minutes, all of your computers will have access to the same printer.

NAT IP Address Sharing

Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the

single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider

while saving the cost of adding additional IP addresses to your

Internet service account.

Product Overview

section

SPI Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network

from a wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing,

Land Attack, Ping of Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with

zero length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding,

Tear Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment flooding.

Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch

The Router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired

computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos,

and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will

adjust to the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer

data between computers and the Internet simultaneously without

interrupting or consuming resources.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless

operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other

applications that are UPnP-compliant.

Support for VPN Pass-Through

If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN

connection, your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to

pass through the Router and to your office network.

Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes

for the easiest possible connection of a network. The DHCP server

will assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is

no need for a complicated networking setup.

Easy Install Wizard

The Easy Install Wizard takes the guesswork out of setting up your

Router. This automatic software determines your network settings for

you and sets up the Router for connection to your Internet Service

Provider (ISP). In a matter of minutes, your Wireless Router will be up and

running on the Internet. A separate wizard is included for setup of the print

server.

Product Overview

section

NOTE: Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows 98SE, Me,

2000, XP and Mac OS 9.X and Mac OS X. The Print Server Setup Wizard

software is compatible with Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, and XP. If you are

using another operating system, the Wireless Router can be set up using the

Alternative Method described in this manual (see page 34).

Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point

802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data rates up to

54Mbps in 54G Mode, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.

125 High-Speed Mode

High-Speed Mode (HSM)*, a 54g™ performance enhancement, provides

the fastest wireless connectivity for 802.11g-capable networks in real-world

environments. It is designed for home networks that require additional

bandwidth for applications such as sharing digital pictures. 125HSM makes

802.11g WLANs more efficient without impacting the performance of

neighboring networks, and is compatible at high speeds with leading brands.

Integrated Parental Control Web Content Filter

Belkin has teamed with Cerberian, a leading content-filtering company, to

bring you this unique feature. Your Belkin Wireless G Router is the first home

networking solution with an integrated web content filter that allows you to

block unwanted or offensive web content before it makes it to your network.

Unlike other Parental Control solutions, Parental Control is built into the Belkin

Wireless Router, so there is no software to install on any computer and you

will never be charged a per-computer fee for the service, ever. Your Wireless

Router comes with a six-month free trial of this feature so you can take

advantage of the capabilities right away. No credit card is needed to use the

trial. You have control: Belkin Parental Control can be modified to meet your

needs. You can set up your own policies and block any website you want.

There is also an optional reporting feature (fee-based) that allows you to get a

report showing you every website that was visited from your network (refer to

your Parental Control Manual for more information).

MAC Address Filtering

For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique client

identifiers) that are allowed access to your network. Every computer has its

own MAC address. Simply enter these MAC addresses into a list using the

web-based user interface and you can control access to your network.

*When operating in High-Speed Mode, this Wi-Fi device may achieve an actual throughput

of up to or greater than 34.1Mbps, which is the equivalent throughput of a system following

802.11g protocol and operating at a signaling rate of 125Mbps. Actual throughput will vary

depending on environmental, operational and other factors.
