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.

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:

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.

and reopen it. If the correct network name now appears under “Available
Networks”, you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the
suggestions listed in the “Placement of your Wireless Networking
Hardware for Optimal Performance” section on page 2.
2. Using a computer that is connected to the Wireless Router (or Access
Point) via a network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that
“Broadcast SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s
wireless “Channel and SSID” configuration page. For detailed instructions
on accessing this page and changing settings, please see your Wireless
Router’s (or Access Point’s) User Manual.
If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing these steps, please
contact Belkin Technical Support.
Installation CD-ROM does not start Wireless Networking Utility.
If the CD-ROM does not start the Wireless Networking Utility automatically, it
could be that the computer is running other applications that are interfering with
the CD drive.

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.

Page 53 of 62
2. Touch any metal part of the case to discharge static electricity, which could
damage your product or your computer.
3. Remove the Card.
4. Locate a different empty PCI expansion slot. It is usually white in color.
5. Confirm that the Card will fit into the slot you have chosen. Keep in mind that
the included antenna needs to be oriented with the top pointing up. 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.
