INTRODUCTION
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 found in the Wireless Utility of your
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available
(see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and move your Router 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 Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site
Survey and wireless channel information included with your
wireless network card° See your network card’s user guide for
more information°
These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area
with your Router° Should you need to cover an even wider area, we
suggest the Belkin Wireless Universal Range Extender/Access Point°
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 Router)°
3° Cordless Phones
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 your Router 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° For
example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to
channel 11° See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions°
•
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz
cordless phone°

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 rerunning 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
under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel°
If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and
AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed
these issues°

single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider
while saving the cost of adding additional IP addresses to your Internet
service account°
SPI Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including IP Spoofing,
Land Attack, Ping of Death (PoD), Denial of Service (DoS), IP with zero
length, Smurf Attack, TCP Null Scan, SYN flood, UDP flooding, Tear
Drop Attack, ICMP defect, RIP defect, and fragment flooding°

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
Built-In Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on-board makes
for the easiest possible connection of a network° The DHCP server will
assign IP addresses to each computer automatically so there is no need
for a complicated networking setup°
Setup Assistant
The Setup Assistant, second generation of Belkin’s renowned Easy
Install Wizard, takes the guesswork out of setting up your Router° This
automatic software determines your network settings for you and sets
up the Router for connection to your Internet Service Provider (ISP)° In a
matter of minutes, your Router will be up and running on the Internet°
Note:
Setup Assistant software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP,
and Vista, Mac OS X v10°4 and v10°5° If you are using another operating
system, the Router can be set up using the Alternate Setup Method
described in this User Manual (see page 27)°
Integrated N Wireless Access Point
N MIMO is an exciting new wireless technology based on the draft IEEE
802°11n specification° It employs MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output)
smart-antenna technology that achieves data rates of up to 300Mbps°*
Actual throughput is typically lower than the connected data rate and
will vary depending on your networking environment°
*NOTE:
The standard transmission rate—300Mbps—is the physical data
rate° Actual data throughput will be lower°
MAC Address Filtering
For added security, you can set up a list of MAC addresses (unique
client identifiers) that are allowed access to your network° Every
computer has its own MAC address° Simply enter these MAC addresses
into a list using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface and you can
control access to your network°
