section
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless G Travel Router (the
Router). 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.
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
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
3.
• 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).
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.
10
11
section
2.
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 Travel Router an ideal solution for
your home or small office network.
Works with PC Computers
The Router supports a variety of networking environments, including
Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP. All you need 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
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
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, and XP.
10
11
section
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.
Product Overview
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.
