Introduction

Revolutionary N1 Wireless Technology with MIMO (N1 MIMO)

Your Belkin N1 Wireless Modem Router uses a new smart-antenna

technology called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). N1 MIMO

complies with the IEEE draft 802.11n specification. It increases

speed, range, reliability, and spectral efficiency for wireless

networking systems.

The element that makes Belkin’s N1 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 N1 MIMO, on the other hand, uses three

antennas. This design helps combat distortion and interference.

Belkin’s N1 MIMO is multidimensional. It builds on one-dimensional

smart-antenna technology by simultaneously transmitting two data

streams through the same channel, which increases

wireless capacity.

Another element that enhances Belkin’s N1 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 N1 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 N1 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.

Introduction

Placement of your N1 Wireless Modem Router

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to

your Modem 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 Modem Router and connected

devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you

move further from your Modem 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 Modem 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.

1. Modem Router Placement

Place your Modem 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 Modem Router’s networking antennas are parallel

to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling).

If your Modem Router itself is positioned vertically, point the

antennas as much as possible in an upward direction.

• In multistory homes, place the Modem Router on a floor that is as

close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing

the Modem Router on an upper floor.

• Try not to place the Modem Router near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.

EN-3

Introduction

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Modem 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 Modem 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 Modem 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

Modem Router to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for

detailed instructions.

• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or

5GHz cordless phone.

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

Modem Router and computers to a channel as far away from other

networks as possible.

EN-4

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 Modem 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.

Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings

A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that

translates Universal Resource Locaters (URLs) like “www.belkin.com” to

IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require you

to enter this information into the Modem Router. The “Automatic from

ISP” box (1) should be checked if your ISP did not give you a specific

DNS address. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may

need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for

your connection to work properly. If your connection type is dynamic or

PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address. Leave the

“Automatic from ISP” box checked. To enter the DNS address settings,

uncheck the “Automatic from ISP” box and enter your DNS entries in the

spaces provided. Click “Apply Changes” (2) to save the settings.

1. IP Address

The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Modem Router.

The default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the advanced

setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your

browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change

the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply

Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a non-routable

IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

2. Subnet Mask

There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique,

advanced feature of your Belkin Modem Router. It is possible to

change the subnet mask if necessary; however, do NOT make

changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason to

do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”.

3. DHCP Server

The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy

by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network

automatically. The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server

can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you

must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your

network. To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click

“Apply Changes”.

4. IP Pool

The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment

to the computers on your network. The default is 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.

5. Lease Time

The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address

for each computer. We recommend that you leave the lease

time set to “Forever”. The default setting is “Forever”, meaning

that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the

DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular

computer. Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one

day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of

time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP address

may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced

features of the Modem Router such as DMZ or client IP filters,

these are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will

not want the IP address to change.

6. Local Domain Name

The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name

(network name) for your network. There is no need to change

this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do

so. You can name the network anything you want such as “MY

NETWORK”.

Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)

To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID is used.

The SSID is your network name. The default network name of the

Modem Router is “Belkin N1 Wireless” followed by six digits that are

unique to your Modem Router. Your network name will look something

like “Belkin_N1_Wireless_123456”. You can change this to anything

you choose, or you can leave it unchanged. Keep in mind, if you decide

to change your wireless network name, and there are other wireless

networks operating in your area, your network name needs to be different

from other wireless networks that may be operating in your area. To

change the SSID, type in the SSID that you want to use in the SSID

field (1) and click “Apply Changes” (2). The change is immediate. If you

make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also

need to be reconfigured to connect to your new network name. Refer to

the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on

making this change.

Changing the Wireless Channel

There are a number of operating channels from which you can choose—in

the United Kingdom (and most of Europe) and Australia, there are 13. In

other countries, there are other channel requirements. Your Modem Router is

configured to operate on the proper channels for the country in which you reside.

The channel can be changed if needed. If there are other wireless networks

operating in your area, your network should be set to operate on a channel that is

different than the other wireless networks.

Using the Wireless Mode Switch

This switch allows you to set the Modem Router’s wireless modes. There are

several modes.

Note: Some modes may require firmware updates to be enabled.

1. 802.11n & 802.11g & 802.11b

Setting the Modem Router to this mode will allow N1/draft 802.11n-,

802.11g-, and 802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.

2. 802.11g only

Setting the Modem Router to this mode will allow only 802.11g-compliant

devices to join the network, keeping out any slower 802.11b devices.

3. 802.11n only

Setting the Modem Router to this mode will allow only N1/draft 802.11n-compliant

devices to join the network, keeping out 802.11g and 802.11b devices.

4. Off

This mode will turn OFF the Modem Router’s access point, so no wireless

devices can join the network. Turning off the wireless function of your

Modem Router is a great way to secure your network when you are away

from home for a long period of time, or don’t want to use the wireless feature

of the Modem Router at a certain time.

Using the Bandwidth Switch

This switch allows you to set the Modem Router’s wireless bandwidth modes.

There are several modes available:

1. 20MHz

Setting the Modem Router to this mode allows only 20MHz operation.

This mode is compatible with N1, draft 802.11n-, 802.11g-, and 802.11b-

compliant devices, but will limit N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices’

bandwidth by half. Reducing bandwidth to 20MHz-only operation might

solve some wireless problems.

2. 40MHz

Setting the Modem Router to this mode allows it to switch automatically

between 20MHz and 40MHz operation. This mode enables 40MHz

operation, to maximize speed for N1, draft 802.11n-compliant

devices when conditions permit. When a legacy 802.11g access

point is presented and occupies an adjacent secondary channel, the

Modem Router automatically reverts to 20MHz operation to maximize

compatibility. We recommend using this as the default mode.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

Using the Broadcast SSID Feature

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. For

security, 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 check mark

from the box next to “Broadcast SSID”, and then click “Apply Changes”. 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. Refer to the documentation of your

wireless network adapter for information on making this change.

Protected Mode Switch

Protected mode ensures proper operation of N1, draft 802.11n-compliant devices

on your wireless network when 802.11g or 802.11b devices are present or when

there is heavy 802.11g or 802.11b traffic in the operating environment. Use

protected mode if your network consists of a mix of Belkin N1 Wireless Cards

and 802.11g or 802.11b cards on your network. If you are in an environment that

includes little to no 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network traffic, you will achieve

the best N1 wireless performance with protected mode OFF. Conversely, in an

environment with HEAVY 802.11g or 802.11b traffic or interference, you will

achieve the best N1 wireless performance with protected mode ON. This will

ensure N1 wireless performance is not affected.

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)

WMM based on 802.11e QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes important data on

your network such as multimedia content and voice-over-IP (VoIP) so it will

not be interfered with by other data being sent over the network. This feature

requires other wireless devices, such as Wi-Fi phone or wireless laptop, to

support WMM for best results.

Changing the Wireless Security Settings

Your Router is equipped with the latest security standard called Wi-Fi Protected

Access™ 2 (WPA2™) and the legacy security standard called Wired

Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Your Router also supports the Wi-Fi Protected

Setup (WPS) specification, which simplifies the setup of a wireless network.

WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typing in a Personal Identification

Number (PIN) or pushing a button, to enable users to automatically configure

network names and strong WPA2 data encryption and authentication. By

default, your Router does not ship with security enabled. You may automatically

configure the security settings using WPS. To change the security settings

manually, you will need to determine which standard you want to use. To access

the security settings, click “Security” on the “Wireless” tab.

Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup

WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption. It does not provide additional

security, but rather, standardizes the method for securing your wireless network.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

You may use either the Push Button Configuration (PBC) method or PIN

method to allow a device access to your wireless network. Conceptually, the

two methods work as follows:

PBC: Push and hold the WPS button located on the back of your Router for three

seconds. Then initiate the WPS procedure on the client device within two

minutes. Refer to your client’s documentation on this procedure. Pushing the

PBC button will automatically enable WPS. The client has now been securely

added to your wireless network.

PIN: The client device has a PIN number (either four or eight digits) that is associated

with WPS. Enable WPS through the GUI shown below. Enter the client’s PIN

into the Router’s internal registrar (accessed through this GUI). The client will be

automatically enrolled into your wireless network within two minutes.

1. Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): Enabled or Disabled.

2. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, a wireless client

wishing to access your network must supply a 4- or 8-digit PIN to the Router.

After clicking “Enroll”, you must start the WPS handshaking procedure from the

client within two minutes.

3. Router PIN: If an external registrar is available, you may enter in the Router’s

PIN to the registrar. Click “Generate New PIN” to change the PIN from the

default value. Click “Restore Default PIN” to reset the PIN value.

4. Push Button Configuration (PBC) Method: PBC is an alternate method to

connect to a WPS network. Push the PBC button located on the back of

the Router for three seconds, and then initiate the PBC on the client device.

Alternatively, push the “Start PBC” soft button to start this process.

5. Manual Configuration Method: This section lists the default security settings if

not using WPS.

The Router features WPA2, which is the second generation of the WPA™ based

802.11i standard. It offers a higher level of wireless security by combining

advanced network authentication and stronger Advanced Encryption Standard

(AES) encryption methods.

WPA2 Requirements

IMPORTANT: In order to use WPA2 security, all your computers and

wireless client adapters must be upgraded with patches, driver, and client

utility software that supported WPA2. At the time of this User Manual’s

publication, a couple security patches are available, for free download,

from Microsoft®. These patches work only with the Windows XP operating

system. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.

For Windows XP computers that do not have Service Pack 2 (SP2),

a file from Microsoft called “Windows XP Support Patch for Wireless

Protected Access (KB 826942)” is available for free download at http://

support.microsoft.com/?kbid=826942

For Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Microsoft has released a free

download to update the wireless client components to support WPA2

(KB893357). The update is available from:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;893357

IMPORTANT: You also need to ensure that all your wireless client cards/

adapters support WPA2, and that you have downloaded and installed

the latest driver. Most of the Belkin wireless cards have driver updates

available for download from the Belkin support site:

www.belkin.com/networking.

Setting WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)

Like WPA security, WPA2 is available in both WPA2-Personal (PSK)

mode and WPA2-Enterprise (RADIUS) mode. Typically, WPA2-Personal

(PSK) is the mode that will be used in a home environment, while WPA2-

Enterprise (RADIUS) is implemented in a business environment where

an external radius server distributes the network key to the clients

automatically. This guide will focus on WPA2-Personal (PSK) usage.

Please refer to the User Manual for more information about wireless

security and different types of wireless security.

1. After you’ve set up your Modem Router, go to the “Security” page

under “Wireless” and select “WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK)” from the

“Security Mode” drop-down menu.

2. For “Authentication”, select “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, or “WPA-PSK

+ WPA2-PSK”. This setting will have to be identical on the wireless

clients that you set up. “WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK” mode will allow the

Modem Router to support clients running either WPA or WPA2 security.

EN-43

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

3. For “Encryption Technique”, select “TKIP”, “AES”, or

“TKIP+AES”. This setting will have to be identical on the wireless

clients that you set up.

4. Enter your pre-shared key (PSK). This can be from eight to 63

characters and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same

key must be used on all of the wireless clients that you set up.

For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smith family

network key”. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set

all wireless clients to match these settings.

IMPORTANT: Make sure your wireless computers are updated to work

with WPA2 and have the correct settings to get proper connection to the

Modem Router.

Setting WPA Security

Note: To use WPA security, your wireless network cards must be

equipped with software that supports WPA. At the time this User

Manual was published, a security patch from Microsoft is available for

free download. This patch works only with Windows XP.

Your Modem Router supports WPA-PSK (no server). WPA-PSK uses

what is known as a pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared

key is basically a password that is between eight and 39 characters

long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, or characters. Each

client uses the same key to access the network. Typically this is the

mode that will be used in a home environment.

will have to be identical on the clients that you set up.

3) Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 39 characters

and can be letters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be

used on all of the clients that you set up.

4) Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set all clients to

match these settings.

Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and

0–9. 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-digit

numbers. 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 13 two-

digit numbers.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters

between A–F and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption

settings on your Modem Router and your wireless computers.

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.

Configuring the Firewall

Your Modem 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

• Fragment flooding

The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack

networks. These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for all intents

and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn

the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended that

you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will not

leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is

recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.

Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings

The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet)

calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21),

or other applications through your Modem Router to your internal

network. Since your internal computers are protected by a firewall,

computers outside your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them

because they cannot be “seen”. A list of common applications has been

provided in case you need to configure the Virtual Server function for

a specific application. If your application is not listed, you will need to

contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.

Choosing an Application

Select your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”.

The settings will be transferred to the next available space in the

screen. Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application.

To remove an application, select the number of the row that you want

to remove then click “Clear”.

Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server

To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided

for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a

comma between multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP),

and click “Apply Changes”. You can only pass one port per internal IP

address. Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk. You

can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is recommended that

you disable the settings when you are not using a specific application.

Using Dynamic DNS

The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address

to a static host name in any of the many domains DynDNS.org offers,

allowing your network computers to be more easily accessed from various

locations on the Internet. DynDNS.org provides this service, for up to five

host names, free to the Internet community.

The Dynamic DNS service is ideal for a home website, file server, or to

make it easy to access your home PC and stored files while you’re at

work. Using the service can ensure that your host name always points to

your IP address, no matter how often your ISP changes it. When your IP

address changes, your friends and associates can always locate you by

visiting yourname.dyndns.org instead!

Setting the Time and Time Zone

The Modem Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network

Time Protocol (SNTP) server. This allows the Modem Router to

synchronize the system clock to the global Internet. The synchronized

clock in the Modem Router is used to record the security log and

control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. You

have the option to select a primary and a backup NTP server to keep

your Modem Router’s clock synchronized. Select your desired NPT

server from the drop-down box, or simply keep it as is.

If you reside in an area that observes daylight saving, then place a

check mark in the box next to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system

clock may not update immediately. Allow at least 15 minutes for the

Modem Router to contact the time servers on the Internet and get a

response. You cannot set the clock yourself.

Enabling Remote Management

Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Modem Router,

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.

Remote management allows you to make changes to your Modem

Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are two

methods of remotely managing the Modem Router. The first is to

allow access to the Modem Router from anywhere on the Internet by

selecting “Any IP address can remotely manage the Modem Router”.

By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the Internet,

you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in

the password of your Modem Router.

EN-68

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

The second method is to allow a specific IP address only to remotely

manage the Modem Router. This is more secure, but less convenient.

To use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be

accessing the Modem Router from in the space provided and select

“Only this IP address can remotely manage the Modem Router”.

Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that

you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will

potentially open your Modem Router to intrusion.

Advanced Feature: The “Remote Access Port” option allows you to

configure the desired “Remote Access Port for Remote Management”

feature. The default access port is set to port 80.

Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users

only. Before enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE

ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is

the method by which the Modem Router shares the single IP address

assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network.

This function should only be used if your ISP assigns you multiple

IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system

configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off,

the computers on your network will not be able to access the Internet.

Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will not affect your

firewall functions.

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature

offered by your Belkin Modem Router. It is a technology that offers

seamless operation of voice messaging, video messaging, games,

and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications

require the Modem 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. An application that

is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Modem

Router, basically “telling” the Modem Router which way it needs the

firewall configured. The Modem Router ships with the UPnP feature

disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant,

and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the

UPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section

of the “Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

This innovation provides the Modem Router with the built-in capability

to automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that

the new firmware is available. When you log into the Modem Router’s

advanced interface, the Modem Router will perform a check to see if

new firmware is available. If so, you will be notified. You can choose to

download the new version or ignore it.

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly.

If you are unable to connect to the Internet from a wireless computer,

please check the following items:

1. Look at the lights on your Modem Router. If you’re using a Belkin

Modem Router, the lights should be as follows:

• The “modem router” LED should be on.

• The “radio wave” LED above the “modem router”

LED should be on.

• The “modem” light should be on, and not blinking.

• The “internet” LED should be on, and not blinking.

• The “Wireless” light should be on, not blinking.

2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the

system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen.

3. The exact window that opens will vary depending on the model of

wireless card you have; however, any of the utilities should have

a list of “Available Networks”—those wireless networks it can

connect to.

Does the name of your wireless network appear in the results?

Yes, my network name is listed—go to the troubleshooting solution

titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name

is listed”.

No, my network name is not listed—go to the troubleshooting solution

titled “I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name

is not listed.

If the correct network name is not listed under “Available Networks” in

the wireless utility, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Temporarily move computer, if possible, five to 10 feet from the

Modem Router. Close the wireless utility, and reopen it. If the

correct network name now appears under “Available Networks”,

you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the

suggestions discussed in the section titled “Placement of your N1

Wireless Modem Router” of this User Manual.

2. Using a computer that is connected to the Modem Router via a

network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast

SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the Modem Router’s

wireless “Channel and SSID” configuration page.

My wireless network performance is inconsistent.

Data transfer is sometimes slow.

Signal strength is poor.

Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private

Network (VPN) connection.

Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the

throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance

between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal

degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such

as walls and metal appliances. Note also that connection speed may

decrease as you move farther away from the Modem Router.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we

suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet

from the Modem Router.

Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic

and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can

improve performance and reliability. The default channel the Modem

Router is shipped with is channel 11; you may choose from several

other channels depending on your region. See the section on page 43

entitled “Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to

choose other channels.

Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit

rate can help improve the maximum wireless range and connection

stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission

rate. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open

“Network Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s

connection. In the properties dialog, select the “Configure” button on

the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless

card in the list box and then click “Properties”), then choose the

“Advanced” tab and select the rate property.

Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the

wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic

disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower

transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different

connection rates until you find the best one for your environment.

Note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for

browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s

user manual.

hex WEP key manually, or you can type in a passphrase in the

“Passphrase” field and click “Generate” to create a WEP key from

the passphrase. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. You must now set

all of your clients to match these settings. A hex (hexadecimal) key

is a mixture of numbers and letters from A-F and 0-9. For 128-bit

WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.

For example:

C3 03 0F AF 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 E4 = 128-bit key

4. Click “Apply Changes” to finish. Encryption in the Wireless Modem

Router is now set. Each of your computers on your wireless network

WARNING: If you are configuring the Modem Router from a computer

with a wireless client, you will need to ensure that security is turned on

for this wireless client. If this is not done, you will lose your wireless

connection.

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 Apple AirPort product to see which

version you are using. If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit

encryption, try 64-bit encryption.
