Connecting your Router Positioning your Router Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your 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 Router connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease.
Connecting your Router 1 Connecting your Computers Power off your computers and networking equipment. 2. Connect your computer to one of the YELLOW RJ45 ports on the rear of the Router labeled “connections to your computers” by using an Ethernet networking cable (one Ethernet network cable is supplied). 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 9 section 1.
Connecting your Router Connecting your ADSL Line Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and region.

Manually Configuring your Router 2–100 (99 computers). If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.
Manually Configuring your Router DHCP Client List You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected to your network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the computer, the host name (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) of the computer’s Network Interface Card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” (4) button will update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.

Manually Configuring your Router Wireless The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings. From this tab, you can make changes to the wireless network name (SSID), operating channel, and encryption security settings. Channel and SSID (1) (2) 1. Changing the Wireless Channel There are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the United States, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, there are 13 channels.
Manually Configuring your Router 1 3. Using the ESSID Broadcast Feature For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. Doing so will keep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the tick from the tick box next to the option, Broadcast SSID. The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted.
Manually Configuring your Router 5. Protected Mode Switch As part of the 802.11g specification, Protected mode ensures proper operation of 802.11g clients and access points when there is heavy 802.11b traffic in the operating environment. When Protected mode is ON, 802.11g scans for other wireless network traffic before it transmits data. Therefore, using this mode in environments with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference achieves best performance results.
Manually Configuring your Router 1 Encryption/Security 2 Securing your Wi-Fi Network Here are a few different ways you can maximize the security of your wireless network and protect your data from prying eyes and ears. This section is intended for the home, home office, and small office user. At the time of this User Manual’s publication, there are four encryption methods available.
Manually Configuring your Router 128-Bit WEP As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, 128Bit WEP was developed as a more secure method of encryption. 128-bit encryption includes a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated data (128 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers refer to 128-bit as 104-bit encryption.
Manually Configuring your Router 1 WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is a new Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP.

Appendixes 1 ESSID Broadcast Many wireless network adapters currently on the market possess a feature known as site survey. It scans the air for any available network and allows each computer to automatically select a network from the survey. This occurs if the computer’s SSID is set to “ANY”. Your Belkin Router can block this random search for a network.
Appendixes Client IP Filters The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, email, or other network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers. MAC Address Filtering The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to access the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.
Appendixes 1 Administrator Password The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password for more security, you can set a password from your Router’s web-based user interface. Keep your password in a safe place as you will need this password if you need to log into the Router in the future. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you set a password if you plan to use the remote management feature.
Appendixes UPnP 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. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP ports and in some instances setting trigger ports.
Appendixes Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup 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.
Appendixes 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 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 Wireless Routers (or access points) and your wireless-enabled computers.
Appendixes These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your Wireless Router (or access point). Should you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point. 5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL 1 2 3 Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used where security is important.
