7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 2 of 58 Thank you for purchasing the Belkin N Wireless ExpressCard Adapter. This Adapter is specifically designed to work with notebooks that have an ExpressCard slot. Now you can take advantage of this great new technology and gain the freedom to network your home and office computers wirelessly. This Adapter allows you to connect a notebook computer to your network. Please be sure to read through this User Manual completely, and pay special attention to the section entitled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance”. Benefits of a Home Network Your Belkin Home Network will allow you to: • Share one high-speed Internet connection with all the computers in your home • Share resources, such as files, and hard drives among all the connected computers in your home • Share a single printer with the entire family • Share documents, music, video, and digital pictures • Store, retrieve, and copy files from one computer to another • Simultaneously play games online, check Internet email, and chat Advantages of a Wireless Network • Mobility –you’ll no longer need a dedicated “computer room”—now you can work on a networked laptop or desktop computer anywhere within your wireless range • Easy installation – Belkin Easy Installation Wizards make setup simple • Flexibility – set up and access printers, computers, and other networking devices from anywhere in your home • Easy expansion – the wide range of Belkin networking products let you expand your network to include devices such as printers and gaming consoles • No cabling required – you can spare the expense and hassle of retrofitting Ethernet cabling throughout the home or office • Widespread industry acceptance – choose from a wide range of interoperable networking products Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your wireless router (or access point). 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 wireless router (or access point) and connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your wireless router (or access
7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 3 of 58 point), 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 wireless router (or access point) 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. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point) Place your wireless router (or access point), 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 N Wireless ExpressCard Adapters, Wireless Desktop Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters): • Ensure that your wireless router’s (or access point’s) antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your wireless router (or access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction. • In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or access point) on a floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the wireless router (or access point) on an upper floor. • Try not to place the wireless router (or access point) near a cordless 2.4GHz phone. 2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference Avoid placing your wireless router (or access point) near devices that may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Other objects that can inhibit wireless communication can include: • Refrigerators • Washers and/or dryers • Metal cabinets
7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 4 of 58 • 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 wireless router (or access point). 3. Cordless Phone Placement 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 the wireless router (or access point) 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 as possible. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your wireless router (or access point) to channel 11. (Your channel selection will vary depending on your region.) 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 of your Belkin Wireless Networking Utility to locate any other wireless networks, and move your wireless router (or access point) and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible. 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 more Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information included in your User Manual. 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:
7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 5 of 58 • 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 re-running 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 in Windows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel. If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL, please review steps 1–4 in the previous pages to be sure you have addressed these issues. These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your wireless router. Should you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.

Depending on the security level (64- or 128-bit), the user will be asked to input a 10- or 26-character hex key. A hex key is a combination of letters, a–f, and numbers, 0–9. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the new standard in the wireless security. However, not all wireless cards and adapters support this technology. Please check your wireless adapter’s user manual to check if it supports WPA. Instead of a hex key, WPA uses only passphrases, which are much easier to remember.
7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 34 of 58 The following section, intended for the home, home-office, and small-office user, presents a few different ways to maximize the security of your wireless network. At the time of publication, four encryption methods are available: Encryption Methods: Name 64-Bit Wired Equivalent Privacy 128-Bit Wired Equivalent Privacy Wi-Fi Protected Access-TKIP Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Acronym 64-bit WEP 128-bit WEP WPA-TKIP/AES (or just WPA) WPA2-AES (or just WPA2) Security Good Better Best Best Features Static keys Static keys Dynamic key encryption and mutual authentication Dynamic key encryption and mutual authentication Encryption keys based on RC4 algorithm (typically 40-bit keys) More secure than 64-bit WEP using a key length of 104 bits plus 24 additional bits of system-generated dataTKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) added so that keys are rotated and encryption is strengthened AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) does not cause any throughput loss (insert chart from P74488-A, p.16) WEP WEP is a common protocol that adds security to all Wi-Fi-compliant wireless products. WEP gives 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. 128-Bit Encryption
7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 35 of 58 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 WEP 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 WEP and 128-bit encryption. Encryption Keys After selecting either the 64-bit WEP or 128-bit 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. You can enter your key by typing in the hex 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 Write down the hex WEP key from your wireless router (or access point) and enter it manually into the hex WEP key table in your Adapter’s configuration screen. WPA WPA is a new Wi-Fi standard that improves upon the security features of WEP. To use WPA security, the drivers and software of your wireless equipment must be upgraded to support it. These updates will be found on your wireless vendor’s website. There are three types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server),WPA (with radius server), and WPA2. WPA-PSK (no server) uses what is known as a pre-shared key as the network key. A network key is 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. WPA (with radius server) works best in a business environment, in which a radius server automatically distributes the network key to clients. WPA2 requires Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for encryption of data, which offers much greater security than WPA. WPA uses both Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) and AES for encryption.
7O0321_WN7712A-LF-AK_P75454-B_F5D8073 v3000_N wrs nc_mnl.doc Page 36 of 58 Setting up your Belkin Wireless Router (or Access Point) to use Security To start using security, you need to first enable WEP or WPA for your wireless router (or access point). For Belkin Wireless Routers (or Access Points), these security features can be configured by using the web-based interface. See your wireless router’s (or access point’s) manual for directions on how to access the management interface. IMPORTANT: You must now set all wireless network cards/adapters to match these settings. Configuring your Adapter to use Security At this point, you should already have your wireless router (or access point) set to use WPA or WEP. In order for you to gain wireless connection, you will need to set your N Wireless ExpressCard Adapter to use the same security settings. Changing the Wireless Security Settings Your Belkin N Wireless ExpressCard Adapter supports advanced security technology, including Wi-Fi Protected Access™ 2 (WPA2™), Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), and Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ (WPS), which simplifies the setup of a wireless network. WPS uses familiar methodologies, such as typed Personal Identification Number (PIN) entry and push-button network-name configuration. This automatically enables strong WPA/WPA2 data encryption and authentication. Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup When attempting to connect to a WPS-enabled network, the following screen will appear: 1. Personal Identification Number (PIN) Method: In this method, your N Wireless ExpressCard Adapter generates a PIN to be entered into your router.

WPS uses WPA2 (described below) for encryption. It does not provide additional security. Instead, it standardizes the method for securing your wireless network. On your client utility, WPS-enabled networks are denoted with the key icon. You may use either the PBC method or PIN method to allow a device access to your wireless network. 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 utility within two minutes. Select the network name in the utility and click “Connect”. Your client will automatically exchange the security information and be added to your wireless network. The PBC method can also be initiated from the client device. You will see the following message if the procedure is initiated from the router:

Data transfer is sometimes slow. 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 from the wireless router (or access point). In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to 10 feet away from the wireless router (or access point). Please see the section titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance” on page 2 of this User Manual.

The default channel the router is shipped with is channel 6. You may choose from several other channels depending on your region; see your router’s (or access point’s) user manual 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 Adapter’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the Wireless Adapter 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 literature. If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support. Why are there two wireless utilities in my system tray?
