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 networkâs 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 âwireless
clients,â (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Adapters or Cards):
If you have concerns about your networkâs 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
Ĺ
Ensure that your wireless routerâs (or access pointâs)
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
Ĺ
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.
Ĺ
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 ânoiseâ, 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:
Ĺ
Refrigerators
Ĺ
Washers and/or dryers
Ĺ
Metal cabinets
Ĺ
Large aquariums
Ĺ
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
Ĺ
Try moving cordless phones away from the wireless router
(or access point) and your wireless-enabled computers.
Ĺ
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that
operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturerâs information).
If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.
Ĺ
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 phoneâs user manual for detailed instructions.
Ĺ
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 signalâs path between your
computers and wireless router (or access point).

Ĺ
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 âBring Your Own Accessâ 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 1â4 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.
Ĺ
A second alternative is to change your computerâs 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 âPower Optionsâ 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 computerâs power
management setting, which causes it to âgo to sleep.â 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.

%LW:(3
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.
%LW(QFU\SWLRQ
As a result of 64-bit WEPâs 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 AâF and 0â9. 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 vendorâs website. There are three types of WPA
security: WPA-PSK (no server), WPA (with radius server), and WPA2.
:3$36. QRVHUYHU 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 Adapterâs
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 routerâs (or access pointâs) manual for
directions on how to access the management interface.

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
same security settings.
Both versions of Wi-Fi Protected Setup (push button and PIN) are
supported with the Belkin utility on Windows 2000 and XP. Only the
hardware push button method is supported on Windows Vista when the
optional utility is installed.
When attempting to connect to a WPS-enabled network, the following
screen will appear:
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Belkin N+ Wireless USB Adapter supports advanced security
technology, including Wi-Fi Protected Access⢠2 (WPA2â˘), Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Wi-Fi Protected Setup⢠(WPS),
which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar
methodologies, such as typed Personal Identification Number (PIN)
entry and push-button network-name configuration. This automatically
enables strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and authentication.

WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption. It does not provide
additional security. Instead, it standardizes the method for securing
your wireless network. On your client utility, WPS-enabled networks
are denoted with the key icon. You may use either the PBC method or
PIN method to allow a device access to your wireless network. The two
methods work as follows:

You will see the following message if the procedure is initiated from
the router:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on your USB Adapter for
two seconds. (Alternatively, you may click the âWPS Connectâ button
on the Belkin utility instead of the physical push button.) Then, complete
the WPS procedure on the router within two minutes. Your client will
automatically exchange the security information and be added to your
wireless network. The PBC method can also be initiated from the router;
however, it is recommended to start the procedure from your
USB Adapter.

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

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

Limiting the wireless transmit rate â 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 âNetwork Connectionsâ and double-click on
your Adapterâs connection. In the âPropertiesâ dialog, select the
âConfigureâ button on the âGeneralâ tab (Windows 98 users will
have to select the USB Network Adapter in the list box and then
click âPropertiesâ), then choose the âAdvancedâ 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 cardâs
literature. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin
