PLACEMENT OF YOUR ROUTER10Proper placement of your Router is important to ensure the best performance ofyour wireless network. Typically, indoors your Wireless Router can provide acircular coverage area of 250 feet or more. However, different types ofconstruction materials and other obstructions in a building can greatly affect thewireless signal and decrease the range. Whenever possible, your Router should beplaced as close as possible to the center of the area that you want to cover. Inmulti-story homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the center ofthe home as possible; this may mean placing the Router on an upper floor. Use care when choosing the location of your Router•Be aware of appliances or large objects such as a refrigerator or washer/dryerunit that may be on the opposite side of a wall from where you decide toplace your Router.•Place the Router on top of a desk and away from metal cabinets and computer cases.•Do not place objects or components on top of the Router. •Make sure that both antennas are pointing UP at all times.•Metallic-based UV window tint can affect wireless performance. Do not placethe Router next to a tinted window.We realize that in the real world, it may not be possible to place your Router inthe center of your coverage area. In cases where you may experience difficultycovering the entire area you want, try placing the Router as high as possible.Wireless devices work best in a line-of-sight situation where there are noobstacles between the wireless computer and the Router. The Router may also be mounted to a wall with the antennas facing UP. There are other options forexpanding your wireless coverage area. Visit www.networking.belkin.com for solutions.The wireless signal can be affected by many things including neighboringwireless networks, microwave ovens in operation, and 2.4GHz cordless phones.While these things can affect the network performance, your wireless networktypically will work fine under most conditions where these devices exist.

38ALTERNATE SETUP METHODConfiguring your WAN Media Access Controller (MAC) AddressAll network components including cards, adapters, and routers, have a unique“serial number” called a MAC address. Your ISP may record the MAC address ofyour computer’s adapter and only let that particular computer connect to theInternet 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 theability to clone (copy) the MAC address of the computer into the Router. ThisMAC address, in turn, will be seen by the ISP’s system as the original MACaddress and will allow the connection to work. If you are not sure whether yourISP needs to see the original MAC address, simply clone the MAC address of thecomputer that was originally connected to the modem. Cloning the address willnot cause any problems with your network.
3939ALTERNATE SETUP METHODCloning your MAC AddressTo clone your MAC address, make sure that you are using the computer that wasORIGINALLY CONNECTED to your modem before the Router was installed. Click the“Clone” button (1). Click “Apply Changes” (2). Your MAC address is now clonedto the Router.Entering a Specific MAC AddressIn certain circumstances you may need a specific WAN MAC address. You canmanually enter one in the “MAC Address” page. Type in a MAC address in thespaces provided (3) and click “Apply Changes” to save the changes. The Router’sWAN MAC address will now be changed to the MAC address you specified.(3)(1)(2)
4040USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEUsing your Internet browser, you can access the Router’s Web-Based AdvancedUser Interface. In your browser, type “192.168.2.1” (do not type in anything elsesuch as “http://” or “www”) then press the “Enter” key.You will see the Router’s home page in your browser window.Viewing the LAN SettingsClicking on the header of the LAN tab (1) will take you to the LAN tab’s headerpage. A quick description of the functions can be found here. To view thesettings or make changes to any of the LAN settings, click on “LAN Settings” (2)or to view the list of connected computers, click on “DHCP client list” (3).(1)(2)(3)
41USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEChanging LAN Settings All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and changed here.1. IP Address The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP addressis “192.168.2.1”. To access the advanced setup interface, type this IP addressinto the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. Tochange the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. TheIP address you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routableIP 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 featureof 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 specificreason to do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)
42USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE3. DHCP Server The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IPaddresses 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 soyou must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. Toturn 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 onyour network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you want to change thisnumber, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address andclicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addressesautomatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than100 computers. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 orlower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must belower 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 settingis “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by theDHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Settinglease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addressesafter the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s IPaddress may change over time. If you have set any of the other advancedfeatures of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent onthe 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 aspecific advanced need to do so. You can name the network anything you wantsuch as “MY NETWORK”.
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEViewing the DHCP Client List PageYou can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected toyour network. You are able to view the IP address (1) of the computer, the hostname (2) (if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address (3) ofthe computer’s network interface card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” (4) buttonwill update the list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.(1) (2) (3)(4)43
44USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEConfiguring the Wireless Network SettingsThe Wireless tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings. From thistab you can make changes to the wireless network name (SSID), operatingchannel, encryption security settings, and configure the Router to be used as anaccess 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 “belkin54g”. You can change this toanything you want to or you can leave it unchanged. If there are other wirelessnetworks operating in your area, you will want to make sure that your SSID isunique (does not match that of another wireless network in the area). To changethe 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 theSSID, your wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconfigured toconnect to your new network name. Refer to the documentation of your wirelessnetwork adapter for information on making this change.(1)(2)
45USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEUsing the Wireless Mode SwitchYour Router can operate in three different wireless modes: “54g-Auto”, “54g-Only”, and “54g-LRS”. The different modes are explained below.54g-Auto ModeIn this mode, the Router is compatible with 802.11b and 54g wireless clientssimultaneously. This is the factory default mode and ensures successful operationwith all Wi-Fi-compatible devices. If you have a mix of 802.11b and 54g clientsin your network, we recommend setting the Router to 54g-Auto mode. Thissetting should only be changed if you have a specific reason to do so.54g-Only Mode54g-Only mode works with 54g clients only. This mode is recommended only ifyou want to prevent 802.11b clients from accessing your network. To switchmodes, select the desired mode from the “Wireless Mode” drop-down box. Then,click “Apply Changes”.54g-LRS ModeWe recommend you DO NOT use this mode unless you have a very specific reasonto do so. This mode exists only to solve unique problems that may occur withsome 802.11b client adapters and is NOT necessary for interoperability of 54gand 802.11b standards. When to use 54g-LRS ModeIn some cases, older 802.11b clients may not be compatible with 54g wireless.These adapters tend to be of inferior design and may use older drivers ortechnology. 54g-LRS (Limited Rate Support) allows these clients to becompatible with the newer 54g technology. Switching to this mode can solveproblems that sometimes occur with these clients. If you suspect that you areusing a client adapter that falls into this category of adapters, first check withthe adapter vendor to see if there is a driver update. If there is no driver updateavailable, switching to 54g-LRS mode may fix your problem. Please note thatswitching to 54g-LRS mode may decrease 54g performance slightly.
46USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACETurbo ModeTurbo mode is enabled by default. It allows the Router or Access Point to useframe bursting to deliver the maximum throughput, 2 times faster than anystandard 802.11g equipment, to 802.11g clients. This measurement is based onaggregate throughput in a mixed 802.11b and 802.11g environment. Belkin802.11g clients with the latest driver will support Turbo mode. Clients that donot support Turbo mode will operate normally with it enabled. To switch Turbomode off, select “OFF”(1) from the drop-down menu and click “Apply Changes”.(1)
47USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEChanging the Wireless ChannelThere are a number of operating channels you can choose from. In the UnitedStates, there are 11 channels. In the United Kingdom and most of Europe, thereare 13 channels. In a small number of other countries, there are other channelrequirements. Your Router is configured to operate on the proper channels forthe country you reside in. The default channel is 11. (unless you are in a countrythat does not allow channel 11). The channel can be changed if needed. If thereare other wireless networks operating in your area, your network should be set tooperate on a channel that is different than the other wireless networks. For bestperformance, use a channel that is at least five channels away from the otherwireless network. For instance, if another network is operating on channel 11,then set your network to channel 6 or below. To change the channel, select thechannel from the drop-down list. Click “Apply Changes”. The change isimmediate.
48USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEUsing the Broadcast SSID FeatureNote: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. For security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. Doing so willkeep your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for thepresence of wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove thecheck mark from the box next to “Broadcast SSID”, and then click “ApplyChanges”. The change is immediate. Each computer now needs to be set toconnect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted. Referto the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information onmaking this change.Protected Mode SwitchAs part of the 802.11g specification, Protected mode ensures proper operation of802.11g clients and access points when there is heavy 802.11b traffic in theoperating environment. When protected mode is ON, 802.11g scans for otherwireless network traffic before it transmits data. Therefore, using this mode inenvironments with HEAVY 802.11b traffic or interference achieves bestperformance results. If you are in an environment with very little—or no—otherwireless network traffic, your best performance will be achieved with Protectedmode OFF.
49USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEChanging the Wireless Security SettingsYour Router is equipped with WPA (Wireless Protected Access), the latest securitystandard . It also supports the legacy security standard, WEP (Wired EquivalentPrivacy). By default, wireless security is disabled. To enable security, you mustfirst determine which standard you want to use. To access the security settings,click “Security” on the Wireless tab.Setting WPA SecurityNote: To use WPA security, all your clients must be upgraded to drivers andsoftware that support it. At the time of this manual’s publication, a security patchdownload is available, for free, from Microsoft. This patch works only with theWindows XP operating system. You also need to download the latest driver for yourBelkin 54g Wireless PCI or CardBus card from the Belkin support site. Otheroperating systems are not supported at this time. Microsoft’s patch only supportsdevices with WPA-enabled drivers such as Belkin 54g products. There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with server).WPA-PSK uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key is apassword that is between eight and 40 characters long. It can be a combinationof letters, numbers, and other characters. Each client uses the same key to accessthe network. Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment.WPA (with server) is a configuration wherein a radius server distributes the keysto the clients automatically. This is typically used in a business environment.Setting WPA-PSK (no server)1. From the “Security Mode” drop-down menu, select “WPA-PSK (no server)”.2. For Encryption Technique, select “TKIP” or “AES”. This setting will have to beidentical on the clients that you set up.3. Enter your pre-shared key. This can be from eight to 40 characters and can beletters, numbers, or symbols. This same key must be used on all of the clientsthat you set up. For example, your PSK might be something like: “Smithfamily network key”.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEChanging System SettingsThe “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administratorpassword, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and offthe NAT function of the Router.Setting or Changing the Administrator Password The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password forgreater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password andkeep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router inthe future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to usethe remote management feature of your Router.Changing the Login Timeout SettingThe login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can belogged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when therehas been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advancedsetup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, thelogin session will expire. You will have to login to the Router again to make anymore changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the defaultis set to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’sadvanced setup interface at one time. 75
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACESetting the Time and Time Zone The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the globalInternet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security logand control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you residein an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place a check mark in the boxnext to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately.Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on theInternet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself.Enabling Remote Management Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOUHAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you tomake changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There aretwo methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to theRouter from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotelymanage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on theInternet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type inthe password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP addressonly to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. Touse this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Routerfrom in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely managethe Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED thatyou set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentiallyopen your Router to intrusion. 76
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEEnabling/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 ADMINISTRATORPASSWORD. Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which theRouter shares the single IP address assigned by your ISP with the othercomputers on your network. This function should only be used if your ISPassigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advancedsystem configuration. If you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, thecomputers on your network will not be able to access the Internet. Otherproblems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions. Enabling/Disabling UPnPUPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by yourBelkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voicemessaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in aspecific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDPports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” theRouter which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with theUPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable theUPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.77
USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACEEnabling/Disabling Auto Firmware UpdateThis innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to automaticallycheck for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new firmware isavailable. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, the Router willperform 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. The Router ships withthis feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select “Disable” and click “Apply Changes”.78
