Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance
1. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point)
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is
to your wireless router (or access point). Typical indoor operating range
for your 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 wireless router (or access point) and
connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to
you. As you move farther from your wireless 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.
Place your wireless 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 Adapters or Cards):
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 wireless 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
N+ Wireless USB Adapter
•
Ensure that your wireless router’s (or access point’s)
antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned
vertically (toward the ceiling). If your wireless router (or
access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the
antennas as much as possible in an upward direction
•
In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or
access point) on a floor that is as close to the center
of the home as possible. This may mean placing the
wireless router (or access point) on an upper floor.
•
Try not to place the wireless router (or access
point) near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference
3. Cordless Phone Placement
Avoid placing your wireless router (or access point) near devices that
may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Other objects that
can inhibit wireless communication can include:
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending
to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
•
Refrigerators
•
Washers and/or dryers
•
Metal cabinets
•
Large aquariums
•
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
•
Try moving cordless phones away from the wireless 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
as possible. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and
move your wireless router (or access point) to channel 11.
(Your channel selection will vary depending on your region.)
See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
•
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless
phone.
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 wireless router (or access point).

Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and
are used where security is important. Secure connections include:
•
These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area
with your wireless router. Should you need to cover an even wider area,
we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.
5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL
The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America
Online (AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband
provided by another cable or DSL service
If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and
AOL, please review steps 1–4 in the previous pages to be sure you have
addressed these issues.
For more Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site
Survey and wireless channel information included in your User Manual.
•
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 in
Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.
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.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often
used to connect remotely to an office network
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 re-running the VPN or
AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.
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 of your Belkin Wireless Networking Utility to locate any other
wireless networks, and move your wireless router (or access point) and
computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a less secure, but more widely
adopted wireless security protocol. Depending on the security level (64or 128-bit), the user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key.
A hex key is a combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the new standard in the wireless
security. However, not all wireless cards and adapters support this
technology. Please check your wireless adapter’s user manual to check
if it supports WPA. Instead of a hex key, WPA uses only passphrases,
which are much easier to remember.
The following section, intended for the home, home-office, and smalloffice user, presents a few different ways to maximize the security of
your wireless network.

64-Bit WEP
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which includes
a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data
(64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 64-bit as 40-bit
encryption. Shortly after the technology was introduced, researchers
found that 64-bit encryption was too easy to decode.
128-Bit Encryption
As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, a more
secure method of 128-bit encryption was developed. 128-bit encryption
includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of systemgenerated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to
128-bit as 104-bit encryption. Most of the new wireless equipment in the
market today supports both 64-bit WEP and 128-bit WEP encryption,
but you might have older equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP.
All Belkin wireless products will support both 64-bit WEP and 128-bit
encryption.

Encryption Keys
WPA
After selecting either the 64-bit WEP or 128-bit encryption mode, it is
critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is
not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless
networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another. You
can enter your key by typing in the hex key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a
combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP,
you must enter 10 hex characters. For 128-bit WEP, you must enter 26
hex characters.
WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features
of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless
equipment must be upgraded to support it. These updates will be
found on your wireless vendor’s website. There are three types of WPA
security: WPA-PSK (no server), WPA (with radius server), and WPA2.
WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the
network key. A network key is a password that is between eight and
63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or
characters. Each client uses the same network key to access the network.
Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment.
For instance:
WPA (with radius server) works best in a business environment, in which
a radius server automatically distributes the network key to clients.
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key
WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of
data, which offers much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and AES for encryption.
Write down the hex WEP key from your wireless router (or access point)
and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your Adapter’s
configuration screen.
Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or
Access Point) to use Security
To start using security, you must first enable WEP or WPA for your
wireless router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers (or Access
Points), these security features can be configured through the webbased interface. See your wireless router’s (or access point’s) manual for
directions on how to access the management interface.
IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters to
match these settings.

Configuring your Adapter to use Security
Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access
point) set to use WPA or WEP. In order for you to gain wireless
connection, you must set your N+ Wireless USB Adapter to use the

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and
the throughput performance between devices decreases when the
distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal
degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such
as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of
your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet. Note also that
connection speed may decrease as you move farther from the wireless
router (or access point).
If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical
Support.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest
temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to 10 feet away
from the wireless router (or access point). Please see the section

	Limiting the wireless transmit rate – Limiting the wireless
transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and
connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit
the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows
Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click on
your Adapter’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select the
“Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will
have to select the USB Network Adapter in the list box and then
click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the
rate property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically
adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause
periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule,
slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different
connection rates until you find the best one for your environment;
note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for
browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s
literature. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin
Technical Support.

The Adapter does not perform or connection is slow when computer
has a built-in wired Ethernet card.
Which one do I use?
This condition occurs if your computer has an active Ethernet card while
your Adapter is also active. This happens because Windows must now
handle two active network connections. You must disable the Ethernet
card from your computer under “Network Adapters” in the Device
Manager.
There are several features and advantages from using the Belkin
Wireless Networking Utility over the Windows XP Wireless Zero
Configuration utility. We offer a site survey, detailed link information, and
adapter diagnosis, to name a few.
It’s essential to know which utility is managing your Adapter. We
recommend using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility. To use the
Belkin Wireless Networking Utility, follow the steps below:
What’s the difference between 802.11g and draft 802.11n?
Step 1 Right-click on the network status icon in the system tray and
select the “Status” tab.
Currently there are three commonly used wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based
on the designation for certifying network standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11g, can transmit information up
to 54Mbps; 802.11a also supports up to 54Mbps, but in the 5GHz
frequency; and 802.11n draft specification can connect at up to
300Mbps. See the following chart for more detailed information.
Step 2 From the “Status” tab, uncheck the “Use Windows to
configure my wireless network settings” box. Once the box is
unchecked, click the “Close” button to close the window.
You are now using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility to configure
the Adapter.
The Adapter does not perform or connection is unstable when
computer has a second built-in wireless network card (such as a
mini PCI or Intel® Centrino™).
This condition occurs if your computer has a built-in wireless card
while your Belkin N+ Wireless USB Adapter is also active. This happens
because Windows must now handle two active wireless connections.
You must disable the built-in wireless card from your computer under
“Network Adapters” in the Device Manager.
