Introduction
• 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 G Range
Extender/Access Point.

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
easiest 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.

Product Overview
Product Features
In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and
network your computers. The following is a list of features that
make your new Belkin Wireless G Router an ideal solution for your
home or small office network.

Mac OS
®
9.x, X v10.x, AppleTalk
®
, Linux
®
, Windows
®
98, Me, NT
®
,
2000, and XP, and others. All that is needed is an Internet browser
and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language
of the Internet).
Front-Panel LED Display
Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions
are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is
connected to the Internet. This feature eliminates the need for
advanced software and status-monitoring procedures.
Web-Based Advanced User Interface
You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your
web browser, without having to install additional software onto the
computer. There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best
of all, you can make changes and perform setup functions from any
computer on the network quickly and easily.
NAT IP Address Sharing
Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the
single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider
while saving the cost of adding 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.

Integrated 10/100 4-Port Switch
The Router has a built-in, 4-port network switch to allow your wired
computers to share printers, data and MP3 files, digital photos,
and much more. The switch features automatic detection so it will
adjust to the speed of connected devices. The switch will transfer
data between computers and the Internet simultaneously without
interrupting or consuming resources.
Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) Compatibility
UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is a technology that offers seamless
operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games, and other
applications that are UPnP-compliant.
Support for VPN Pass-Through
If you connect to your office network from home using a VPN
connection, your Router will allow your VPN-equipped computer to
pass through the Router and to your office network.
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.
Easy Install Wizard
The 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 Wireless Router will be up
and running on the Internet.
NOTE:
Easy Install Wizard software is compatible with Windows
98SE, Me, 2000, XP, and Mac OS 9.X and Mac OS X. If you are using
another operating system, the Wireless Router can be set up using
the Alternate Setup Method described in this User Manual (see
page 22).

Integrated 802.11g Wireless Access Point
802.11g is an exciting new wireless technology that achieves data
rates up to 54Mbps, nearly five times faster than 802.11b.
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.
