Thank you for purchasing the Belkin High-Speed Mode Wireless G

Notebook Network Card (the Card). Now you can take advantage

of this great new technology without using cables. The High-Speed

Mode Wireless G Notebook Network Card works like a conventional

network card, but without the wires. The easy installation and setup

will have you networking wirelessly in minutes. 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”.

Advantages of a wireless network

• Mobility – you no longer need a dedicated “computer room”—

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) 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. 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

Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless

USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your Wireless Router (or Access Point) 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 your cordless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from Wireless Router or

Access Point 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, as possible. 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 of your Wireless LAN Utility to locate any other wireless

Introduction

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.

Use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information

included in your User Guide for more information.

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 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 Belkin’s Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.
