INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless G Router (the Router). The following two short sections discuss the benefits of home

networking and outline best practices for maximizing your wireless home network range and performance. Please be sure to

read through this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section entitled “Placement of your Router for Optimal

Performance” on page 2.

Advantages of a Wireless Network

INTRODUCTION

Ř Ensure that your Router’s networking antennas are parallel to each

other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your

Router itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as

possible in an upward direction.

Ř In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close

to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the

Router on an upper floor.

Ř Try not to place the Router near a cordless phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,”

such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless

communication include:

Ř Refrigerators

Ř Washers and/or dryers

Ř Metal cabinets

Ř Large aquariums

Ř 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 Router).

Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is

to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for 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 Router and connected devices

increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move

farther from your Router, 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 away from the Router 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 Placement

Place your Router, 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):

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 found in the wireless utility of your

wireless adapter or card to locate any other wireless networks that

are available (see your wireless adapter’s or card’s user manual), and

move your Router and computers to a channel as far away from other

networks as possible.

Ř 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.

Ř For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site

Survey and wireless channel information included with your

Wireless Network Card or Adapter. See your Network Card’s user

guide for more information.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area

with your Router. Should you need to cover an even wider area, we

suggest the Belkin Wireless G Universal Range Extender/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:

Ř Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your

wireless-enabled computers.

Ř Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone

that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s

information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may

be interfering.

Ř If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on

the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For

example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to

channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

Ř If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.

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:

Ř Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect

remotely to an office network

Ř The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL),

which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another

cable or DSL service

Ř Most online banking websites

Ř 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 easiest

solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning 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

under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you continue to have difficulty with secure connections, VPNs, and

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

these issues.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

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®X, Linux®, Windows®2000, XP, Vista®, and others. All that is needed

is an Internet browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the

standard language of the Internet).

Patent-Pending Network Status 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.

Web-Based Advanced User Interface

You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your web

browser, without having to install additional software onto the computer.

There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best of all, you can

make changes and perform setup functions from any computer on the

network quickly and easily.

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 IP addresses to your Internet service account.

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.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

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.

Setup Assistant Software

The Setup Assistant Software 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.

NOTE: Setup Assistant Software is compatible with Windows 2000,

XP, Vista, and Mac OS X. If you are using another operating system,

the Wireless Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method

described in this User Manual (see page 25).

Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point

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

up to 54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.

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 Advanced User Interface and you can

control access to your network.
