F5D9000 revised manual Page 3 of 62 Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance 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. 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. 1. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point) 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 Wireless Notebook Cards, Wireless Desktop Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters): • 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
F5D9000 revised manual Page 4 of 62 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: • Refrigerators • Washers and/or dryers • Metal cabinets • Large aquariums • 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 wireless router (or access point). 3. Cordless Phone Placement 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 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. 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 of your 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.
F5D9000 revised manual Page 5 of 62 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 more Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information included in your User Manual. 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 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. 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. If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL, please review steps 1–4 above to be sure you have addressed these issues. 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.

F5D9000 revised manual Page 36 of 62 Securing your Wi-Fi® Network If you choose to connect to a secure network, determine the type of security (WPA or WEP*) and use the appropriate field in the dialog box. *Note: Types of security
F5D9000 revised manual Page 37 of 62 Note: When you select a network using encryption, you will first see the simple security screen. Click the “Advanced” button to see other security options (below). Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a less secure, but more widely adopted wireless security protocol. Depending on the security level (64- or 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. Wireless Protected Access (WPA) is the new standard in the wireless security. However, not all wireless cards and adapters support this technology. Please
F5D9000 revised manual Page 38 of 62 check your wireless router’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 small office user, presents a few different ways to maximize the security of your wireless network. At the time of publication, four Encryption Methods are available: Encryption Methods: Using the Belkin Wireless Networking Utility Name 64-Bit Wired Equivalent Privacy 128-Bit Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Acronym 64-bit WEP 128-bit WPA-TKIP/AES WPA2-AES Security Good Better Best Best Features Static keys Static keys Dynamic key encryption and mutual authentication Dynamic key encryption and mutual authentication Encryption keys based on RC4 algorithm (typically 40-bit keys) Added security over 64-bit WEP using akey length of104 bits, plus24 additionalbits of system- generated data TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) added so that keys are rotated and encryption is strengthened AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) does not cause any throughput loss WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP gives wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as a comparable wired 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.
F5D9000 revised manual Page 39 of 62 128-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 system-generated 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 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 and 128-bit WEP. Encryption Keys After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP 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 manually, or you can type a passphrase into the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10 hex keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys. For instance: 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 The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your Card uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different hardware manufacturers might have different methods on generating the keys. If you have multiple vendors’ equipment in your network, the easiest thing to do is to use the hex WEP key from your wireless router (or access point) and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your Card’s configuration screen. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) 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
F5D9000 revised manual Page 40 of 62 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. WPA (with radius server) works best in a business environment, in which a radius server automatically distributes the network key to clients. 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. Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have your network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure all your wireless devices are sharing the same network key. Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point) to use Security To start using security, you need to 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 by using the web-based 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 Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Desktop Card to use Security 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 a wireless connection, you will need to set your Wireless G Plus MIMO Desktop Card to use the same security settings. Changing the Wireless Security Settings The Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Desktop Card supports the latest WPA security feature as well as the legacy WEP security standard. By default, wireless security is disabled.
F5D9000 revised manual Page 41 of 62 To enable security, you will first need to determine which standard is used by the router or access point. (See your wireless router’s or access point’s manual for directions on how to access the security settings.)

Click “Add” if you do not see the network you are trying to connect to and type in the SSID. For more information about setting up an SSID, please refer to your router manufacturer’s user manual. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support. Link LED is solid but I cannot connect to the Internet. If you have a signal but can’t get online or obtain an IP address, the problem may be that there is a mismatch between the encryption key settings in your computer and wireless router (or access point). Check the WEP key settings to see if they match. The key is case-sensitive and the spelling on each computer and wireless router (or access point) must be exactly the same in order for the Card to connect to the router. For more information about encryption, please see the “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” section in this manual. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support. Data transfer is sometimes slow. 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). 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 titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance” in this manual. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support. Signal strength is poor.

If there are cables and other connections in the way, try to pick the PCI slot that has the fewest obstructions to correct the positioning of the antenna. 6. Remove the metal port cover from the back of the computer that corresponds to the PCI slot you selected. If there is a screw, place it in a safe place, as you will be using it to attach the Card to the computer later. 7. Push the Card firmly into the PCI slot that you have chosen. Apply pressure as needed until the connector is fully seated. 8. Now secure the Card with the screw that you previously placed in a safe place. 9. Carefully screw the antenna onto the threaded connector on the Card. Turn the antenna until it is vertical and pointing up. 10. Replace the computer’s cover. Now that the Card is installed, you can reconnect the power cord, and turn it back on. 11. The computer should now properly recognize the Card. What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and Pre-N? Currently there are four levels of 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, 802.11b, transmits information at 11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps; and Pre-N works at 108Mbps. Pre-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.
