Placement of your Wireless G Plus MIMO Router
Important Factors for Placement and Setup
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is
to your Router (or access point). 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 (or access
point) and connected devices increases. This may or may not be
noticeable to you. As you move farther from your 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 10 feet from the 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 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 Router’s (or access point’s) networking
antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned
vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Router (or access point)
itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as
possible in an upward direction.
• In multistory homes, place the Router (or access point) on a
floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible.
This may mean placing the Router (or access point) on an
upper floor.

Introduction
• Try not to place the Router (or access point) near a cordless
2.4GHz phone.
2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your 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 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 your Router (or access
point) and your wireless-enabled computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that
operates on the 2.4GHz band (check 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 (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 Utility of
your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that
54
Introduction
54
are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and move
your 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.
• 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 (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 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 simplest
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.

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 MIMO 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, 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 additional 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, four-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)
UPnP 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 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 Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in
this User Manual (see page 24).
