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.

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.

section

Introduction

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 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® 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk®, Linux®, Windows® 98, Me, NT®, 2000,

and 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).

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.
