Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Belkin N+ Wireless Router (the Router). Following

are two short sections—the first discusses the benefits of home networking, and

the other outlines best practices that maximize 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

Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance” on the next page. By

following our simple setup instructions you will be able to use your Belkin Home

Network to:

•Share one high-speed Internet connection with all the computers in your

home

•Share a USB storage device (not included) within your network

•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’s 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 let 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.

The element that makes Belkin’s N MIMO technology different from a conventional radio is the

use of multiple antennas and two simultaneous data streams to deliver wireless transfers around

your home or office. A conventional radio uses one antenna to transmit a data stream. Belkin’s N

MIMO, on the other hand, uses two antennas. This design helps combat distortion and

interference. Belkin’s N MIMO is multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional smart-antenna

(This section is copied from P74304-C Introduction)

Revolutionary N+ Wireless Technology with MIMO (N MIMO)

Your Belkin N+ Wireless Router uses a new smart-antenna technology called Multiple Input

Multiple Output (MIMO). N MIMO complies with the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases

speed, range, reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless networking systems.

PM00736-A_F5D8235-4_N+_RTR_MNL_jdk.doc1

technology by simultaneously transmitting two data streams through the same channel, which

increases wireless capacity.

Another element that enhances Belkin’s N MIMO is the use of aggregation as specified in the

draft 802.11n specification. By shortening the space between packets and combining multiple

smaller packets into one larger packet, Belkin’s N MIMO can transmit more data through

available bandwidth.

Think of conventional radio transmission as a two-lane highway. The speed limit governs the

maximum allowable flow of traffic through that lane. Compared with conventional radios, one-

dimensional smart antenna systems help move traffic through that lane faster and more reliably—

analogous to a four-lane road on which traffic consistently moves at a rate closer to the speed

limit. Belkin’s N MIMO helps traffic move at the speed limit and opens more lanes—to become

the superhighway in this example. The rate of traffic flow is multiplied by the number of lanes that

are opened.

Placement of your N+ Wireless Router

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 further 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 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.

PM00736-A_F5D8235-4_N+_RTR_MNL_jdk.doc

1. Router Placement

Place your 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 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 2.4GHz 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 your 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. 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 or 5GHz cordless phone.

PM00736-A_F5D8235-4_N+_RTR_MNL_jdk.doc1

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

wireless adapter’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.

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 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 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 Connections, VPNs, and AOL,

please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed these issues.

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 additional 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 10/100/1000 4-Port Switch

The Router has a built-in, Gigabit Ethernet, four-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)

UPnP 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.

PM00736-A_F5D8235-4_N+_RTR_MNL_jdk.doc

Page 8 of 120

The Setup Assistant, second generation of Belkin’s renowned 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

Router will be up and running on the Internet.

Note: Setup Assistant software is compatible with Windows 2000, XP, and Vista;

and Mac OS X v10.x. If you are using another operating system, the Router can

be set up using the Alternate Setup Method described in this User Manual (see

page xx) [VERIFY PAGE NUMBER].

Integrated N+ Wireless Access Point

N MIMO is an exciting new wireless technology based on the draft IEEE 802.11n

specification. It employs MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) smart-antenna

technology that achieves data rates of up to 300Mbps.* Actual throughput is

typically lower than the connected data rate and will vary depending on your

networking environment.

*NOTE: The standard transmission rate—300Mbps—is the physical data rate.

Actual data throughput will be lower.

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.
