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. As you move farther from your 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 away from the 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. Wireless Router Placement  
Place your 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 Router’s networking antennas are parallel  
to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the  
ceiling). If your Router itself is positioned vertically, point the  
antennas as much as possible in an upward direction.  
In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is as  
close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean  
placing the Router on an upper floor.  
Try not to place the Router near a cordless phone.

Introduction

2. 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:  
• Refrigerators  
3
• Washers and/or dryers  
• Metal cabinets  
4
• Large aquariums  
• 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).  
6
7
3. Cordless Phones  
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after  
attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:  
8
• Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your  
wireless-enabled computers.  
9
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone  
that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s  
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may  
be interfering.  
10  
11  
• 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 Router to channel 11. See your phone’s user  
manual for detailed instructions.  
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz 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 or card to locate any other wireless  
networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s or card’s  
user manual), and move your Router and computers to a channel  
as far away from other networks as possible.  
3

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. Should you need to cover an  
even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless G 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  
easiest 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.

Product Overview  
Product Features  
In minutes you will be able to share your Internet connection and  
network your computers. The following is a list of features that  
make your new Belkin Wireless G Travel Router an ideal solution for  
your home or small office network.  
Works with PC Computers  
The Router supports a variety of networking environments, including  
Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP. All you need is an Internet browser  
and a network adapter that supports TCP/IP (the standard language  
of the Internet).  
Front-Panel LED Display  
Lighted LEDs on the front of the Router indicate which functions  
are in operation. You’ll know at-a-glance whether your Router is  
connected to the Internet. This feature eliminates the need for  
advanced software and status-monitoring procedures.  
Web-Based Advanced User Interface  
You can set up the Router’s advanced functions easily through your  
web browser, without having to install additional software onto the  
computer. There are no disks to install or keep track of and, best  
of all, you can make changes and perform setup functions from any  
computer on the network quickly and easily.  
NAT IP Address Sharing  
Your Router employs Network Address Translation (NAT) to share the  
single IP address assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider  
while saving the cost of adding IP addresses to your Internet  
service account.  
SPI Firewall  
Your 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, and fragment flooding.

Setting your ISP Connection Type to PPPoE  
Most DSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use a DSL  
modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into  
the service. If you have an Internet connection in your home or small office  
that doesn’t require a modem, you may also use PPPoE.

Your connection type is PPPoE if:  
1) Your ISP gave you a user name and password, which is required to  
connect to the Internet;  
2) Your ISP gave you software such as WinPOET or Enternet300 that  
you use to connect to the Internet; or  
3) You have to double-click on a desktop icon other than your browser  
to get on the Internet.

Setting Custom Domain Name Server (DNS) Settings  
A “Domain Name Server” is a server located on the Internet that  
translates Universal Resource Locators (URLs) like “www.belkin.com”  
into IP addresses. Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) do not require  
you to enter this information into the 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.

Configuring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) Address  
All network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have  
a unique “serial number” called a MAC address. Your Internet Service  
Provider may record the MAC address of your computer’s adapter  
and only let that particular computer connect to the Internet service.  
When you install the Router, its own MAC address will be “seen”  
by the ISP and may cause the connection not to work. Belkin has  
provided the ability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer  
into the Router. This MAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s

MAC address, simply clone the MAC address of the computer that  
was originally connected to the modem. Cloning the address will not  
cause any problems with your network.

1. IP Address  
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The  
default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the Web-Based  
Advanced User 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), and  
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 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 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”.

Configuring the Wireless Network Settings  
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. You  
can also configure the Router to be used as an access point.  
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)  
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set  
Identifier) is used. The default SSID of the Router is “Belkin Traveler”.  
You can change this to a name of your choice or leave it unchanged.  
If there are other wireless networks operating in your area, you will  
want to make sure that your SSID does not match that of another  
wireless network in the area. To change the SSID, type the SSID that  
you want to use in the “SSID” field (1) and click “Apply Changes”  
(2). The change will be effective immediately. If you make a change  
to the SSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be  
reconfigured to connect to your newly named network. Refer to the  
documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on  
making this change.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)  
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a common protocol that adds  
security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP was designed  
to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as  
a comparable wired network.  
64-Bit WEP  
64-bit WEP was first introduced with 64-bit encryption, which  
includes a key length of 40 bits plus 24 additional bits of  
system-generated data (64 bits total). Some hardware manufacturers  
refer to 64-bit as 40-bit encryption. Shortly after the technology was  
introduced, researchers found that 64-bit encryption was too easy  
to decode.  
37  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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.  
Most of the new wireless equipment in the market today supports  
both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption, but you might have older  
equipment that only supports 64-bit WEP. All Belkin wireless products  
will support both 64-bit and 128-bit WEP.  
Encryption Keys  
After selecting either the 64-bit or 128-bit WEP encryption mode, it is  
critical that you generate an encryption key. If the encryption key is  
not consistent throughout the entire wireless network, your wireless  
networking devices will be unable to communicate with one another  
on your network and you will not be able to successfully communicate  
within your network.  
You can enter your key by typing in the hex key manually, or you can  
type in a passphrase in the “Passphrase” field and click “Generate”  
to create a key. A hex (hexadecimal) key is a combination of numbers  
and letters from A–F and 0–9. For 64-bit WEP, you need to enter 10  
hex keys. For 128-bit WEP, you need to enter 26 hex keys.  
For instance:  
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit WEP key  
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit WEP key  
The WEP passphrase is NOT the same as a WEP key. Your Router  
uses this passphrase to generate your WEP keys, but different  
hardware manufacturers might have different methods on generating  
the keys. If you have multiple vendors’ equipment in your network,  
the easiest thing to do is to use the hex WEP key from your Router or  
access point and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your  
Router’s configuration screen.

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).  
3
4
WPA-PSK (no server) 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.

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.  
For instance:  
3
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key  
4
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 in each box. You will use this key to program  
the encryption settings on your Router and your wireless computers.

Your Router is equipped with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the  
latest wireless security standard. It also supports the legacy security  
standard, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). By default, wireless  
security is disabled. To enable security, you must first determine  
which standard you want to use. To access the security settings, click  
“Security” on the “Wireless” tab.  
WPA Setup  
Note: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to  
drivers and software that support it. At the time of this User Manual’s  
publication, a security patch download is available, for free, from  
Microsoft. This patch works only with the Windows XP operating  
system. You also need to download the latest driver for your Belkin  
Wireless G Desktop or Notebook Network Card from the Belkin  
support site. Other operating systems are not supported at this time.  
Microsoft’s patch only supports devices with WPA-enabled drivers  
such as Belkin 802.11g products.  
WPA uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A  
pre-shared key is a password that is between eight and 63 characters  
long. It can be a combination of letters, numbers, and other  
characters. Each client uses the same key to access the network.  
Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment.  
WPA2 is the second generation of WPA, offering a more advanced  
encryption technique over WPA.

Troubleshooting  
Problem:  
The Easy Install Wizard cannot find my Router.  
Solution:  
If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to find the Router during the  
installation process, please check the following items:  
1. Check to see if the switch on the back of the Router has been  
set to “Router Mode.”  
2. Unplug power to the Router for 10 seconds, and then plug the  
power back into the Router. Ensure that the Router’s “Power”  
light is on; it should be solid green. If not, check to make sure  
that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the Router and  
plugged into a wall outlet.  
3. Check to see if the switch on the back of the Router has been  
set to “Router Mode”.  
Problem:  
The Easy Install Wizard cannot connect my Router to the Internet.  
Solution:  
If the Easy Install Wizard is not able to connect the Router to the  
Internet, please check the following items:  
1. Ensure that you have a cable (use the cable included with the  
Router) connected between (1) the Ethernet port on the back of the  
Router to the (2) Ethernet port of your modem or service provider.  
2. If your ISP requires a user name and password, make sure that  
you have typed in your user name and password correctly. Some  
user names require that the ISP’s domain be at the end of the name.  
Example: “myname@myisp.com”. The “@myisp.com” part of the  
user name may need to be typed as well as your user name.  
Problem:  
The Easy Install Wizard completed installation and the Router’s  
“Ethernet” light is lit “On” but my web browser doesn’t work.  
Solution:  
1. Make sure the network cable between the modem and the Router is  
connected. We strongly recommend using the cable that was supplied  
with your cable or DSL modem for this purpose. The cable should be  
connected at one end to the Router’s “Ethernet” port, and at the other  
end to the network port on your modem or service provider.

2. Unplug the cable or DSL modem from its power source for three  
minutes. After three minutes, plug the modem back into its  
power source. This may force the modem to properly recognize  
the Router.  
3. Unplug the power to your Router, wait 10 seconds, and then  
reconnect the power. This will cause the Router to reattempt  
communication with the modem.

If the “Ethernet” light on the Router is not lit after completing  
these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

4. Try shutting down and restarting your computer.  
5. If you have a “static IP address” connection, your ISP must

assign you the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address.  
6. If you have a “PPPoE” connection, your ISP will assign you a  
user name and password and sometimes a service name. Make  
sure the Router connection type is configured to “PPPoE” and the  
settings are entered properly.

2. Open your wireless utility software by clicking on the icon in the  
system tray at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen. If you  
are also using a Belkin Wireless Card or Adapter with this Router,  
the tray icon should look like this (the icon may be red or green):  
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 listedgo 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 is not listed”.  
Problem:  
I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, but my network name  
is listed.  
Solution:  
If the name of your network is listed in the “Available Networks” list,  
please follow the steps below to connect wirelessly:  
1. Click on the correct network name in the “Available Networks” list.  
2. If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to  
enter the network key. For more information regarding security,  
see the section entitled “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” in this  
User Manual.  
3. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower, left-hand  
corner of your screen should turn green, indicating a successful  
connection to the network.

If the correct network name is not listed under “Available Networks”  
in the wireless configuration utility, please attempt the following  
troubleshooting steps:  
4
1. Temporarily move your computer, if possible, five to 10 feet  
away from the Router. Close the wireless configuration 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 Router for Optimal Performance” in this  
User Manual.

2. Using a computer that is connected to the Router through a  
network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast  
SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s wireless  
“Channel and SSID” configuration page.

Problem:  
My wireless network performance is inconsistent.  
Data transfer is sometimes slow.  
Signal strength is poor.  
I am having difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual  
Private Network (VPN) connection.  
Solution:  
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. As a result, the  
typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100  
to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you  
move farther away from the Router or access point.

Troubleshooting  
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we  
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet  
away from the 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 Router is shipped with is channel 11.  
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.
