Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Enhanced Wireless USB Adapter. Now you
can take advantage of this great new technology and gain the freedom to
network your home and office computers wirelessly. This Adapter allows you to
connect a notebook computer to your network. Please be sure to read through
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 2 of 6159
this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section entitled
“Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance”.
Benefits of a Home Network
Your Belkin Home Network will allow you 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 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 Easy Installation Wizards make 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
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
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 3 of 6159
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 Adapters or Cards):
• 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
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
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 4 of 6159
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 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.
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
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 5 of 6159
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 in the previous pages 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.

www.belkin.com/networking or call Belkin Technical Support.

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

Page 33 of 6059
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).
Wireless 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.
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 small-office user,
presents a few different ways to maximize the security of your wireless network.

WEP
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.
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
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 35 of 6059
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 WEP and 128bit 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
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 keys. For 128-bit WEP, you must
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
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.
WPA
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.
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.
Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point) to use Security
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 36 of 6059
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 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 Adapter 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 wireless connection, you must set
your Enhanced Wireless USB Adapter to use the same security settings.
Changing the Wireless Security Settings
Your Belkin Enhanced Wireless USB Adapter supports advanced security
technology, including Wi-Fi Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2™), 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.
Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
When attempting to connect to a WPS-enabled network, the following screen will
appear:
1. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, your
Enhanced Wireless USB Adapter generates a PIN to be entered into your
router.
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 37 of 6059
2. Push-Button Configuration (PBC) Method.
3. Advanced Configuration Method: For manual connection to a secured
network.
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:
PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the back of your router for three
seconds. Then, initiate the WPS procedure on the client utility within two minutes.
Select the network name in the utility and click “Connect”. Your client will
automatically exchange the security information and be added to your wireless
network. The PBC method can also be initiated from the client device.
You will see the following message if the procedure is initiated from the router:
F6D4050 V1000_User Manual_08121716030_P75451-A_F6D4050-v3000_N usb ADR_mnl
Page 38 of 6059
If the process is started from the client, you will see this message:
The client will be automatically enrolled into your wireless network within two
minutes.
PIN: Your notebook computer has an 8-digit PIN that is associated with WPS.
Select the WPS-enabled network and click “Connect” to start the WPS process.
Choose the PIN-method option and complete the WPS procedure on your
router’s setup utility.
You will see the following message during the connection process:

The client will be automatically enrolled into your wireless network within two
minutes.
If desired, you may connect manually to a WPS-enabled network. Click on the
“Advanced” tab to open the following window:

Enter in the encryption key and security method in order to join this network. The
following section describes how to connect to a secure network that does not
support WPS.
The Belkin Enhanced Wireless USB Adapter supports the latest WPA security
feature as well as the legacy WEP security standard. By default, wireless security
is disabled.

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, WPA, or WPA2 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 Adapter to connect to the router. For more information about encryption,
please see “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” on page 16 of this User 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” on page 2 of this User
Manual. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical
Support.

performance and reliability. The default channel the router is shipped with is
channel 6. You may choose from several other channels depending on your
region; see your router’s (or access point’s) user manual for instructions on how
to choose other channels.
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.
Why are there two wireless utilities in my system tray?
Which one do I use?
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:
Step 1 Right-click on the network status icon in the system tray and select the
“Status” tab.
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 Enhanced 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.
The Adapter does not perform or connection is slow when computer has a
built-in wired Ethernet card.
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

What’s the difference between 802.11g and draft 802.11n?
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
