23528_8820-00380_F7D4302 v1_Play Router_Updated_0222-2010  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 10/100 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.   USB Port The USB port lets you plug in printers, hard drives, and other USB devices to share across your network.

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.

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.
