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 ADSL Line Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and region. Typically it involves a microfilter or a microfilter with built-in splitter to allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone service on the same telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select appropriate method.
Connecting your Router 3. If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack, simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the gray RJ11 port labeled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. 4.

Manually Configuring your Router 1 Encryption/Security 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 three encryption methods available.
Manually Configuring your Router 128-Bit WEP As a result of 64-bit WEP’s potential security weaknesses, a more secure method of 128-bit encryption was developed. 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-PSK (no server) This method uses what is known as a Pre-Shared key as the Network key. A Network key is basically a password that is between eight and 63 characters long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each client uses the same Network key to access the network. Typically, this is the mode that will be used in a home environment. 2 3 4 WPA (with 802.
Manually Configuring your Router Sharing the Same Network Keys Most Wi-Fi products ship with security turned off. So once you have your network working, you need to activate WEP or WPA and make sure your wireless networking devices are sharing the same Network key.
Manually Configuring your Router Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort® products support 64-bit encryption only. Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please check your product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption. WEP Setup Select “WEP” from the drop-down menu. 2. Select “WEP Mode” of 64-bit or 128-bit 3.
Manually Configuring your Router 3. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Router is now set.

Troubleshooting What’s the difference between 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11a, and Pre-N? Currently there are four levels of wireless networking standards, which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based on the designation 802.11(x), so named by the IEEE, the board that is responsible for certifying networking standards. The most common wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at 11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps; and Pre-N works at 108Mbps.

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. URL Blocking To configure the URL blocking feature, specify the websites (www.somesite. com) and/or keywords you want to filter on your network. Click “Apply Changes” to activate the change.
