IntroductionThank you for purchasing the Belkin N Wireless Router (the Router).Following are two short sections—the first discusses the benefits of homenetworking, and the other outlines best practices that maximize yourwireless home network range and performance. Please be sure to readthrough this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to thesection entitled “Placement of your N Wireless Router” on the next page. Byfollowing our simple setup instructions you will be able to use your BelkinHome Network to: Share one high-speed Internet connection with all the computers inyour home Share resources, such as files and hard drives among all theconnected 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 chatAdvantages of a Wireless NetworkHere are some of the advantages of setting up a BelkinWireless Network: Mobility – you’ll no longer need a dedicated “computerroom”—now you can work on a networked laptop or desktopcomputer anywhere within your wireless range Easy installation – Belkin’s Easy Installation Wizard makessetup simple Flexibility – set up and access printers, computers, and othernetworking devices from anywhere in your home Easy expansion – the wide range of Belkin networking products letyou expand your network to include devices such as printers andgaming consoles No cabling required – you can spare the expense and hassle ofretrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout the home or office Widespread industry acceptance – choose from a wide range ofinteroperable networking products1
IntroductionThe element that makes Belkin’s N MIMO technology differentfrom a conventional radio is the use of multiple antennas and twosimultaneous data streams to deliver wireless transfers around yourhome or office. A conventional radio uses one antenna to transmit adata stream. Belkin’s N MIMO, on the other hand, uses two antennas.This design helps combat distortion and interference. Belkin’s NMIMO is multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional smart-antennatechnology by simultaneously transmitting two data streams throughthe same channel, which increases wireless capacity.Another element that enhances Belkin’s N MIMO is the use ofaggregation as specified in the draft 802.11n specification. Byshortening the space between packets and combining multiple smallerpackets into one larger packet, Belkin’s N MIMO can transmit moredata through available bandwidth.Think of conventional radio transmission as a two-lane highway. Thespeed limit governs the maximum allowable flow of traffic throughthat lane. Compared with conventional radios, one-dimensional smartantenna systems help move traffic through that lane faster and morereliably—analogous to a four-lane road on which traffic consistentlymoves at a rate closer to the speed limit. Belkin’s N MIMO helpstraffic move at the speed limit and opens more lanes—to become thesuperhighway in this example. The rate of traffic flow is multiplied bythe number of lanes that are opened.212345678910sectionRevolutionary N Wireless Technology with MIMO (N MIMO)Your Belkin N Wireless Router uses a new smart-antenna technologycalled Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). N MIMO complieswith the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases speed, range,reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless networking systems.
IntroductionPlacement of your N Wireless RouterImportant Factors for Placement and SetupYour wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer isto your Router. Typical indoor operating range for wireless devices isbetween 100 and 200 feet.In the same way, your wireless connection and performance willdegrade somewhat as the distance between your Router andconnected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeableto you. As you move further from your Router, connection speedmay decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by gettingin the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances orobstructions, and walls.If you have concerns about your network’s performance that mightbe related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computerto a position between five and 10 feet from the Router in order to seeif 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 networkperformance, they will not prohibit your wireless network fromfunctioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating atits maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.1.Router PlacementPlace your Router, the central connection point of yournetwork, as close as possible to the center of your wirelessnetwork devices.To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wirelessclients” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless NotebookNetwork Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and WirelessUSB Adapters): Ensure that your Router’s networking antennas are parallelto each other, and are positioned vertically (toward theceiling). If your Router itself is positioned vertically, point theantennas as much as possible in an upward direction. In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is asclose to the center of the home as possible. This may meanplacing the Router on an upper floor. Try not to place the Router near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.3
Introduction1Avoid Obstacles and InterferenceAvoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio“noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibitwireless communication include: Refrigerators Washers and/or dryers Metal cabinets Large aquariums Metallic-based, UV-tinted windowsIf your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure thatobjects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (betweenyour computers and Router).3.Cordless Phones3456If the performance of your wireless network is impaired afterattending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:7 Try moving cordless phones away from your Router and yourwireless-enabled computers.8 Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phonethat operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’sinformation). If this fixes the problem, your phone maybe interfering. If your phone supports channel selection, change the channelon the phone to the farthest channel from your wirelessnetwork. For example, change the phone to channel 1 andmove your Router to channel 11. See your phone’s usermanual for detailed instructions. If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHzcordless phone.4.2Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless NetworkIn locations where homes or offices are close together, such asapartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wirelessnetworks nearby that can conflict with yours.Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility ofyour wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks thatare available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and moveyour Router and computers to a channel as far away from othernetworks as possible.4910section2.
Introduction Experiment with more than one of the available channels, inorder to find the clearest connection and avoid interferencefrom neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices. For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed SiteSurvey and wireless channel information included with yourwireless network card. See your network card’s user guide formore information.These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximumpossible area with your Router. Should you need to cover aneven wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless RangeExtender/Access Point.5.Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOLSecure connections typically require a user name andpassword, and are used where security is important. Secureconnections include: Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used toconnect remotely to an office network The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided byanother cable or DSL service Most online banking websites Many commercial websites that require a user name andpassword to access your accountSecure connections can be interrupted by a computer’spower management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.”The simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect byrerunning the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into thesecure website.A second alternative is to change your computer’s powermanagement settings so it does not go to sleep; however, thismay not be appropriate for portable computers. To change yourpower management setting under Windows, see the “PowerOptions” 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 haveaddressed these issues.5
