Introduction 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.
Introduction 1 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: 2 • Refrigerators 3 • Washers and/or dryers 4 • Metal cabinets • Large aquariums 3. • Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows 5 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).
Introduction • 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.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 1 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.
Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 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.
Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 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. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support WPA. These updates will be found on the wireless vendor’s website. There are two types of WPA security, WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with radius server).
Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 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.
Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface 1 Using a Hexadecimal Key A hexadecimal key is a combination of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit keys are five two-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 two-digit numbers. 2 For instance: 3 AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key 4 In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F and 0–9 in each box.
