Technical Details

Technical Features

011916

Integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point

Utilizing Dual-Band Network technology, your Router creates two

separate networks (one at 2.4GHz band and the other at 5GHz band),

allowing increased bandwidth to all your connected wireless devices and

computers.

NAT IP Address Sharing

To save you the cost of adding IP addresses per computer in your house,

your Belkin Router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) technology,

allowing you to share a single IP address across your network.

SPI Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network

from a wide array of common attacks and viruses.

Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility

The UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) feature in your Router offers

seamless operation of voice and video messaging, games, and other

applications that are UPnP-compliant.

Web-Based Advanced User Interface

You can easily make changes to your Router’s advanced settings through

your web browser. These changes can be made from any computer on your

network.

Belkin Router Monitor

The Belkin Router Monitor application helps you to monitor your

Router’s status and change network settings.

Integrated 4-Port Gigabit Switch

Your Router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired

computers to share printers, data, MP3 files, digital photos, and much

more at speeds of up to one gigabit per second.

Dual USB Ports

Two USB ports let you plug in printers, hard drives, and other USB

devices to share across your network.

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.

Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move

farther away from the Router.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we

suggest temporarily moving the computer within 10 feet from

the Router if possible.

011916

Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic and

interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can

improve performance and reliability. See the section titled

“Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to

choose other channels.

Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit rate can

help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless

cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change

this property in Windows, go to the Windows Control Panel,

open “Network Connections”, and double-click on your wireless

card’s connection. In the properties dialog, select the

“Configure” button on the “General” tab, 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 user manual.

• ETS 301 489 General EMC requirements for radio equipment.

Information

Products with the CE marking comply with the EMC Directive (2004/108/EC) and

the Low Voltage Directive (2006/95/EC) issued by the Commission of the

European Community. Compliance with these directives implies conformity to the

following European Product Family Standards.

• EN 55022 (CISPR 22) – Electromagnetic Interference

• EN 55024-1 – Electromagnetic Immunity

• EN 61000-3-2 (IEC610000-3-2) – Power Line Harmonics

• EN 61000-3-3 (IEC610000) – Power Line Flicker

• EN 60950-1 (IEC60950-1) – Product Safety

Products that contain the radio transmitter are sometimes labeled with the

Notified Body number (CE0560) or CE alert marking if the standard used in the

conformity is not harmonized across the European Community.

IC Statement:

This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

undesired operation of the device.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme á la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,

and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause

Selection of other channels is not possible.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of information to

transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to prohibit transmission of control

or signaling information or the use of repetitive codes where required by the technology.

The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful

interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems.
