Introduction

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.

section

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

Introduction

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 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 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.

section

Product Overview

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).
