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 or desktop computer to your network. Please
be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to
the section titled, “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
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
• Microwaves
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
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.

Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi® Network
If you choose to connect to a secure network, determine the type of security
(WPA/WPA2 or WEP) and use the appropriate field in the dialog box.
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®/WPA2®) is the new standard in wireless
security. Instead of a hex key, WPA/WPA2 uses only passphrases, which are
much easier to remember. The passphrase is 8–63 characters and can consist of
alphabet letters and numbers.
Troubleshooting
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.
If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer, please
check the following items:
Look at the lights on your wireless router. If you’re using a Belkin Wireless Router,
the lights should be as follows:
• The “router” light should be on and not blinking.
If this is NOT the case, make sure:
• The router’s power cord is plugged in.
• All cables are connected between the router and the modem.
• All the modem’s LEDs are functioning correctly. If not, see your modem’s user
manual.
• Reboot the router.
• Reboot the modem.
If you continue to have issues, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
If you are not using a Belkin Wireless Router, consult that router manufacturer’s
user guide.
Power LED does not come ON; Adapter is not working.
If the LED indicators are not ON, the problem may be that the Adapter is not
connected or installed properly. Verify that the Adapter is plugged firmly into the
USB port of your computer. Check to see that the drivers for the Adapter have
been installed. Right-click on the “My Computer” icon on your desktop. Choose
“Properties” and navigate to the “Device Manager” and see if your USB Network
Adapter is listed without any errors. If an error is indicated, contact Belkin
Technical Support.
Link LED is blinking slowly; I cannot connect to a wireless network or the
Internet.
If your Adapter appears to be functioning properly, but you cannot connect to a
network or you have a red wireless icon at the bottom of your screen, the
problem may be that there is a mismatch between the network name (SSID)
settings in your wireless network properties.
Check the SSID settings to see if they match. The SSID is case-sensitive and the
spelling on each computer must be exactly the same in order for the Adapter to
connect to the wireless router (or access point).
Note: To check the SSID settings or look for an available network, double-click
the Signal Indicator icon to bring up the “Wireless Networks” screen. 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 reference 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, 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 the “Connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi Network” section.
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.” If issues persist
even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Signal strength is poor.
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

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 wireless router (or access point).
Changing the wireless channel – Depending on local wireless traffic and
interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve
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.
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 N450 DB/N600 DB Dual-Band Wi-Fi 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
active network connections. You must disable the Ethernet card from your
computer under “Network Adapters” in the Device Manager.
What’s the difference between 802.11g and 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
specification can connect at up to 300Mbps. See the following chart for more
