Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin Wireless G Router (the Router). The

following two short sections discuss the benefits of home networking and outline

best practices for maximizing your wireless home network range and

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

pay special attention to the section entitled “Placement of your Router for Optimal

Performance” on page 2.

Benefits of a Home Network

•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

F5D7234-4 v4 Wireless G Router User Manual Rev1

Page 4 of 61

•Mobility – you 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 – the Belkin Setup Assistant Software 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

Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your

Router. Typical indoor operating range for 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 Router and connected devices

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

your 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 away from the 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. Wireless Router Placement

Place your Router, the central connection point of your network, as close as

possible to the center of your wireless network devices.

F5D7234-4 v4 Wireless G Router User Manual Rev1

Page 5 of 61

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 Router’s networking antennas are parallel to each other,

and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Router itself is

positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in an upward

direction.

•In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the

center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the Router on an

upper floor.

•Try not to place the Router near a cordless phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as

microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication 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 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 the Router and your wireless-

enabled computers.

•Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on

the 2.4GHz band (check the 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 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 found in the wireless utility of your wireless

adapter or card to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your

F5D7234-4 v4 Wireless G Router User Manual Rev1

Page 6 of 61

wireless adapter’s or card’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 or

Adapter. 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.

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 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

F5D7234-4 v4 Wireless G Router User Manual Rev1

Page 7 of 61

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.

Works with Both PCs and Mac® Computers

The Router supports a variety of networking environments including Mac OS®X,

Linux®, Windows®2000, XP, Vista®, and others. All that is needed is an Internet

browser and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language of

the Internet).

Patent-Pending Network Status 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

F5D7234-4 v4 Wireless G Router User Manual Rev1

Page 8 of 61

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.

Setup Assistant Software

The Setup Assistant Software 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: Setup Assistant Software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, Vista,

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 24).

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.
