Introduction

section

Congratulations and thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless

G Plus MIMO Notebook Card (the Card). This product features new

MIMO technology that solves interference and range challenges of

wireless networking in larger homes and offices. MIMO (Multiple Input,

Multiple Output) delivers the best wireless network performance over

an expanded coverage area. Belkin’s new “G Plus MIMO” products

achieve 400% wider coverage than standard 802.11g networks with

exceptional data transfer results.

Using MIMO’s revolutionary, smart-antenna technology, Belkin G

Plus MIMO products can boost network speeds by up to four times

previous capacities. Its enhanced data rates and range make MIMO a

perfect technology for downloading music from the Internet, sharing

photos, and gaming online.

The easy installation and setup will have you networking in minutes.

Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay

special attention to the section entitled “Placement of your Wireless

Network Hardware for Optimal Performance”.

Advantages of a Wireless Network

• Mobility – you no longer need a dedicated “computer

room”—you can work on a networked laptop or desktop

computer anywhere within your wireless range

• Easy installation – Belkin Easy Installation Wizards make

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 let you expand your network to include devices such

as printers and gaming consoles

• No cabling required – Belkin spares you the expense and

hassle of retrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout your 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 (or access point). Typical indoor operating range

for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. Conversely, 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 further from your wireless router (or access point), connection

speed may decrease. Additionally, metal appliances, obstructions, and

walls can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s

radio waves.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance 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.

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 Wireless Notebook Network

Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your wireless router (or access point) 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.

Introduction

section

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

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 (or access point).

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 the cordless phone away from your wireless router

(or access point) 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 furthest 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. (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 Client 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 of the available channels in order to find

the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring cordless

phones or other wireless devices.

Use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information

included in your wireless router’s (or access point’s) user guide for

more information.

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 Connection, VPNs, and

AOL, please review steps 1–4 on pages 2–3 to be sure you have

addressed these issues.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area

with your wireless router. Should you need to cover an even wider area,

we suggest the Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/Access Point.
