Introduction

section

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless G Plus 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.

Benefits of a Home Network

• 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

• Mobility – you 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 – The Belkin Easy Installation Wizard makes

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 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):

• 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.

• 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.

• Try not to place the Router near a cordless phone.

Introduction

section

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:

• 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 Router).

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 the Router and your

wireless-enabled computers.

• 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.

• 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.

• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz 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 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.

Introduction

• 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 with your

Wireless Network Card. 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 Range Extender/Access

Point.

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 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 Plus 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 v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 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.

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.

Product Overview

section

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.

NOTE: Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows

98SE, Me, 2000, XP, and Mac OS X. If you are using another

operating system, the Wireless G Plus Router can be set up using the

Alternate Setup Method described in this User Manual (see page 22).

Product Overview

G Plus Mode, 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.

G Plus makes 802.11g WLANs more efficient without affecting the

performance of neighboring networks, and is compatible at high

speeds with leading brands.

*When operating in 125 G Plus Mode, this Wi-Fi device achieves

an actual throughput of up to 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.

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.
