1N Wireless RouterSECTIONSTable of Contents 2345678910INTRODUCTION 1Thank you for purchasing the Belkin N Wireless Router (the Router). Following are two short sections—the first discusses the benefits of home networking, and the other outlines best practices that maximize your wireless home network range and performance. Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section entitled “Placement of your N Wireless Router” on the next page. By following our simple setup instructions you will be able to use your Belkin Home Network to: • Share one high-speed Internet connection with all the computers in your home• Share resources, such as files and hard drives among all the connected computers in your home• Share a single printer with the entire family• Share documents, music, video, and digital pictures• Store, retrieve, and copy files from one computer to another• Simultaneously play games online, check Internet email, and chat Advantages of a Wireless NetworkHere are some of the advantages of setting up a Belkin Wireless Network:• Mobility – you’ll no longer need a dedicated “computer room”—now you can work on a networked laptop or desktop computer anywhere within your wireless range• Easy installation – Belkin’s Setup Assistant makes setup simple• Flexibility – set up and access printers, computers, and other networking devices from anywhere in your home• Easy expansion – the wide range of Belkin networking products let you expand your network to include devices such as printers and gaming consoles• No cabling required – you can spare the expense and hassle of retrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout the home or office• Widespread industry acceptance – choose from a wide range of interoperable networking products

The rate of traffic flow is multiplied by the number of lanes that are opened.Placement of your N Wireless Router Important Factors for Placement and SetupYour 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 further 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 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. Revolutionary N Wireless Technology with MIMO (N MIMO)Your Belkin N Wireless Router uses a new smart-antenna technology called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). N MIMO complies with the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases speed, range, reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless networking systems. The element that makes Belkin’s N MIMO technology different from a conventional radio is the use of multiple antennas and two simultaneous data streams to deliver wireless transfers around your home or office. A conventional radio uses one antenna to transmit a data stream. Belkin’s N MIMO, on the other hand, uses two antennas. This design helps combat distortion and interference. Belkin’s N MIMO is multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional smart-antenna technology by simultaneously transmitting two data streams through the same channel, which increases wireless capacity. Another element that enhances Belkin’s N MIMO is the use of aggregation as specified in the draft 802.11n specification. By shortening the space between packets and combining multiple smaller packets into one larger packet, Belkin’s N MIMO can transmit more data through available bandwidth. Think of conventional radio transmission as a two-lane highway. The speed limit governs the maximum allowable flow of traffic through that lane. Compared with conventional radios, one-dimensional smart antenna systems help move traffic through that lane faster and more reliably—analogous to a four-lane road on which traffic consistently moves at a rate closer to the speed limit. Belkin’s N MIMO helps traffic move at the speed limit and opens more lanes—to become the

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 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 to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.1. 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). • 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2.4GHzphone.2. 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• Metallic-based UV tinted windowsIf 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).
