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.
Ř
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.
Ř
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.
Ř
Try not to place the Router near a cordless phone.
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.
2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
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.
Ř
Refrigerators
Ř
Washers and/or dryers
Ř
Metal cabinets
1. Wireless Router Placement
Ř
Large aquariums
Place your Router, the central connection point of your network, as
close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices.
Ř
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,”
such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless
communication include:
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).
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):
G Wireless Router
INTRODUCTION

3. Cordless Phones
4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending
to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
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.
Ř
Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your
wireless-enabled computers.
Ř
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.
Ř
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.
Ř
10
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.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.
Ř
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.
Ř
For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site
Survey and wireless channel information included with your
Wireless Network Card or Adapter. 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 Universal Range Extender/Access Point.

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL
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.
Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and
are used where security is important. Secure connections include:
Ř
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect
remotely to an office network
Ř
The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL),
which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another
cable or DSL service
Ř
Most online banking websites
Ř
Many commercial websites that require a user name and password
to access your account
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 Features
NAT IP Address Sharing
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 G Wireless Router an ideal solution for your home or
small office network.
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.
Works with Both PCs and MacÂŽ Computers
SPI Firewall
The Router supports a variety of networking environments including
Mac OSÂŽ, 9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalkÂŽ, LinuxÂŽ, WindowsÂŽ 98, Me, NTÂŽ,
2000, XP, VistaÂŽ, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser
and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of
the Internet).
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.
Front-Panel LED Display
Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
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.
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.
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.
G Wireless Router
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.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Support for VPN Pass-Through
Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point
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.
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
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
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.
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.
Setup Assistant Software
The Setup Assistant Software 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: Setup Assistant Software is compatible with Windows 2000,
XP, Vista, and Mac OS X. If you are using another operating system,
the Wireless Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method
described in this User Manual (see page 25).

Belkin has provided our Setup Assistant software to make installing your
Router a simple and easy task. You can use it to get your Router up and
running in minutes. The Setup Assistant requires that your Windows
2000/XP, Vista, or Mac OS X v10.4 or v10.5 computer be connected
directly to your cable or DSL modem and that the Internet connection is
active and working at the time of installation. If it is not, you must use
the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this User Manual to configure
your Router. Additionally, if you are using an operating system other
than Windows 2000/XP, Vista, or Mac OS X v10.4 or v10.5, you must
set up the Router using the “Alternate Setup Method” section of this
User Manual.
Modem Requirements
Your cable or DSL modem must be equipped with an RJ45 Ethernet
port. Many modems have both an RJ45 Ethernet port and a USB
connection. If you have a modem with both Ethernet and USB, and are
using the USB connection at this time, you will be instructed to use the
RJ45 Ethernet port during the installation procedure. If your modem has
only a USB port, you can request a different type of modem from your
ISP, or you can, in some cases, purchase a modem that has an RJ45
Ethernet port on it.
ALWAYS INSTALL YOUR ROUTER FIRST! If you are installing
numerous network devices for the first time, it is important that your
Router is connected and running before attempting to install other
network components such as notebook cards and desktop cards.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE
Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use a DSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into
the service. If you have an Internet connection in your home or small office that doesn’t require a modem, you may also use PPPoE.
Your connection type is PPPoE if:
- Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to
connect to the Internet;
- Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that you
use to connect to the Internet; or
- You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser to
get on the Internet.

Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that
translates Universal Resource Locators (URLs) like “www.belkin.com”
into IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require
you to enter this information into the Router. The “Automatic from ISP”
box should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific DNS
address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may
need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for
your connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic
or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
Leave the “Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS
address settings, uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your
DNS entries in the spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” to save
the settings.
Follow the on-screen steps and click “Apply Changes” to complete
your setup.

Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address
Entering a Specific MAC Address
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have
a unique “serial number” called a MAC address. Your Internet Service
Provider may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter
and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service.
When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen” by the
ISP and may cause the connection not to work. Belkin has provided
the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the
Router. This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as
the original MAC address and will allow the connection to work. If you
are not sure whether your ISP needs to see the original MAC address,
simply clone the MAC address of the computer that was originally
connected to the modem. Cloning the address will not cause any
problems with your network.
In certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address.
You can manually enter one in the “MAC Address” page. Type a MAC
address in the spaces provided (2) and click “Apply Changes” to save
the changes. The Router’s WAN MAC address will now be changed to
the MAC address you specified.
(2)
(1)
Cloning your MAC Address
To clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer
that was ORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router
was installed. Click the “Clone” button (1). Click “Apply Changes”. Your
MAC address is now cloned to the Router.

Mixed (11b+11g) Mode
11b Only Mode
In this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
clients simultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures
successful operation with all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. If you have a
mix of 802.11b and 802.11g clients in your network, we recommend
setting the Router to mixed (11b+11g) mode. This setting should only be
changed if you have a specific reason to do so.
We recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very
specific reason to do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems
that may occur with some 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary
for interoperability of 802.11g and 802.11b standards.
When to Use 11b Only Mode
11g Only Mode
In some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 802.11g
wireless. These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use
older drivers or technology. Switching to this mode can solve problems
that sometimes occur with these clients. If you suspect that you are
using a client adapter that falls into this category of adapters, first
check with the adapter vendor to see if there is a driver update. If there
is no driver update available, switching to b only mode may fix your
problem. Please note that switching to 11b only mode will decrease
802.11g performance.
11g mode works with 802.11g clients only. This mode is recommended
only if you want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network.
To switch modes, select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode”
drop-down box. Then, click “Apply Changes”.
Off
This option will turn off wireless functionality.

WAN Ping Blocking
Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential
victims on the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a
response from the IP address, a hacker can determine that something of
interest might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not respond
to an ICMP ping from the outside. This heightens the level of security of
your Router.
This screen lets you manage different parameters of the Router and
perform certain administrative functions.
To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” and click “Apply
Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.

What is the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and
Draft-N?
10
Wireless Comparison Chart
Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards, which
transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on
the designation 802.11(x), so named by the IEEE, the board that is
responsible for certifying networking standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at
11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps; and Draft-N works up
to 300Mbps. Draft-N, the precursor to the upcoming 802.11n release,
promises speeds that exceed 802.11g, and up to twice the wireless
coverage area. See the following chart for more detailed information.
