Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless G Plus Notebook

Card (the Card). Now you can take advantage of this great new

technology and gain the freedom to network your home and office

computers wirelessly. This Card allows you to connect a notebook

computer to your network. Please be sure to read through this

User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section

entitled “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

Here are some of the advantages of setting up a Belkin 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 Wizard makes 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

lets 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

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. 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 and connected devices

increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move

farther from your wireless router, 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 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

Place your wireless router, 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 Wireless Notebook Cards,

Wireless Desktop Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your wireless router’s antennas are parallel to each

other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your

wireless router itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas

as much as possible in an upward direction.

• In multistory homes, place the wireless router on a floor that is as

close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing

the wireless router on an upper floor.

• Try not to place the wireless router near a cordless 2.4GHz

phone.

Introduction

section

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your wireless router 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

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.

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

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 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 Wireless Networking Utility to locate any other

wireless networks, and move your wireless 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 more wireless networking products from Belkin, 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 DSL or cable 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 above to be sure you have addressed

these issues.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible

area with your wireless router.
