The best location for your adapter is on top of your computer’s monitor.

Placing

the Adapter on your desktop is acceptable, however, avoid placing the

Adapter

near metal objects such as a computer case or speakers. Any object

that is metal

has the ability to block the radio signals from the Adapter.

Installing and Setting Up the Adapter

Installing your Adapter is done in three easy steps:

1. Install the software FIRST. If you connect your Adapter to your PC

before

you install the software, it will not work until you install the software.

2. Connect the Adapter to your PC.

3. Let Windows finish installing the Adapter.

NOTE: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE FIRST BEFORE YOU CONNECT

THE ADAPTER TO

YOUR COMPUTER

Software and Driver Installation

1. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. The Belkin Wireless USB Network Adapter Setup Utility screen will

automatically appear. If it does not appear within 15–20 seconds, then

select your CD-ROM drive and double-click on the folder named “Files”.

double-click on the icon named “USB_UTILITY.exe”.

3. In the menu window,

drag your mouse over

the “Install” button

then select “Click here”

to start the software

installation program.

4. The installer will start. Click on or select “Easy” to continue to the next

step.

If you are using Windows XP, it is recommended that you use the Belkin

Wireless USB Network Adapter Utility to manage the Adapter’s wireless

settings. If you want to

use Windows XP to manage

the Adapter, check “Use

the Windows XP Wireless

Network Connection

Utility”. Instructions on

how to use the Windows

XP Connection Utility are

available from Microsoft.

Click “Next” to continue.

5. After the software installation is

finished, the message “You can

plug in your WLAN adapter now”

will appear. Plug the Adapter to

an available USB port on your PC

or USB hub.

6. After connecting your Adapter,

Windows will detect that new

hardware has been installed.

Depending on your version of

Windows, a window similar to

the one pictured here will

appear. Select the option

“Install the software

automatically (Recommended)”.

similar to this one. This does not

mean there is a problem. Select

“Continue Anyway”.

8. If you are using Windows 98

or Me, you will be asked to

restart your computer. Select

“Restart”. If you are using

Windows 2000 or XP, you will

9. When the installation is complete, the Belkin WLAN Monitor icon will

be on

your desktop. To open the Monitor Utility, double-click on this icon.

10. A small icon in your system tray (bottom right corner of most

screens) will

appear. This is your shortcut to the Belkin WLAN Monitor. It also

indicates

the status of your connection:

Red: No connection to a wireless network

Blue: Connected to a wireless network.

If you already have a wireless router or an access point in your home or

office, the Adapter will automatically attempt to connect to your wireless

network. In most cases, the Adapter will be able to connect to your

network

automatically. If you are using encryption, you will have to set the

encryption settings on your wireless router or access point before the

Adapter can successfully connect to your wireless network. For

information

about configuring your Adapter, see the next section in this manual.

CONNECTING TO YOUR WIRELESS NETWORK

If you already have a wireless router or an access point in your home or

office,

the Adapter will automatically attempt to connect to your wireless

network. In

most cases, the Adapter will be able to connect to your network

automatically. If

your wireless network is using encryption, you will need to set the

encryption

settings of your Adapter to match that of your wireless network. For

information

about configuring your Adapter, see the next section in this manual.

UNINSTALLING THE SOFTWARE AND DRIVERS

If you need to remove the software and drivers for any reason, you can

easily

accomplish this in one of two ways. You can insert the software CD and

click on

the “Uninstall” option in the menu, or you can go to the Windows Control

Panel

and select the “Add/Remove Programs” option. The Belkin wizard will

walk you

through the removal process.

When you launch the Wireless LAN Monitor Utility (the Utility), you will

presented with the screen below. The following small icon will also be

present in

your system tray.

The Utility can be set to always be on top of everything else

on your desktop when it is open. This setting can be changed

if you right-click on the icon in your system tray.

Place a check mark next to “Always on top” to keep the

utility on top all of the time. Remove the check mark to set

the window to move to the back when you select another window. You

can close

the Utility screen without shutting the Utility down by clicking Exit (l).

Double-clicking on the icon in the system tray will open the window.

(a) Profile Name

The first thing you will notice is the “Profile Name”. Initially this will say

“default” and be grayed out until you have set up a profile. Also, the

Profile

Manager Mode (k) will be “OFF”. Using Profiles allows you to save

configurations

for different wireless networks. For instance, if you use your Adapter at

your

place of work and also at your home, your wireless network settings

may be

different for each location. Profiles let you store settings for each

location and

name them for easy identification. The “default” profile will contain the

initial

configuration setting when you install the Adapter. To learn how to use

Profiles,

see the section of this manual called “Using Profile Manager Mode”.

(b) Operating Mode

Shows the current wireless mode the Adapter is operating in. There are

two

operating modes: “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad-Hoc”. Infrastructure is

the

most common mode to operate in and is the factory default setting. Use

Infrastructure mode when connecting your PC to a wireless access

point or to a

wireless router. Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect two or more

computers together

without the use of an access point or wireless router. To change the

mode, click

the down-facing arrow next to the Operating Mode field. Select the

mode you

wish to use, then click “Apply”.

Shows the current channel the Adapter is operating on. When operating

Infrastructure mode, the channel is set automatically by the access point

wireless router that the Adapter is connected to. You cannot change the

channels in Infrastructure mode. In Ad-Hoc mode, the channel can be

set

manually. For more information about operating in Ad-Hoc mode, see

“Operating

in Ad-Hoc Mode”.

(d) SSID

The SSID is the wireless network name. This field shows the current

SSID with

which the Adapter is associated. The default (factory) setting is “ANY”,

which

will cause the Adapter to automatically look for any wireless network in

the area.

To connect to a specific wireless network, you can manually enter the

SSID of

the known wireless network. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive, so,

capital

letters do make a difference. To change the SSID, click in the SSID field,

type the

SSID you want, then click “Apply”.

USING THE BELKIN WIRELESS LAN MONITOR

UTILITY

(e) Tx Rate

Displays the current rate of data transmission. There are five Tx rates

possible:

Fixed 11Mbps—Always transmit and receive at 11Mbps data rate

regardless of

signal quality.

Fixed 5.5Mbps—Always transmit and receive at 5.5Mbps data rate

regardless of

signal quality.

Fixed 2Mbps—Always transmit and receive at 2Mbps data rate

regardless of

signal quality.

Fixed 1Mbps—Always transmit and receive at 1Mbps data rate

regardless of

signal quality.

Auto—Adjust speed according to signal strength. This mode is the

recommended

setting. It will decrease the amount of transmit and receive errors by

reducing

the speed of transmission in favor of receiving error-free data. Note that

data

being sent at Fixed 11Mbps with low signal quality will not necessarily

get the

data to the computer faster. This is because when errors occur, the data

must be

resent. When the signal quality is low, the chances for errors to occur at

high

speeds are greatly increased. Sending the data at lower speeds when

the signal

quality is poor will reduce the chances of errors, and thus data will get to

the

computer in the shortest possible time.
