INTRODUCTION
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.

INTRODUCTION
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arenotblockingthesignal’spath
between your computers and wireless router (or access point).

INTRODUCTION
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anycordlessphonethat
operatesonthe2.4GHzband(checkmanufacturer’sinformation).
Ifthisfixestheproblem,yourphonemaybeinterfering.
 •Ifyourphone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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ofthe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.

INTRODUCTION
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tocover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.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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

TROUBLESHOOTING
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.

This condition occurs if your computer has a built-in wireless
card while your Belkin N750 DB Wireless Dual-Band USB

must now handle two active wireless connections.
You must disable the built-in wireless card from your computer
