Introduction

Placement of your Wireless G Plus MIMO ADSL2+ Modem Router

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

You r wireless connection will be stro nger the closer your computer is to your Rou ter. Typical indoor operat ing range for wireless devices is bet ween 100 and 200 feet.

In the same way, yo ur wireless connection and performance will deg rade somewhat as the distance betw een your Router and con nected devices increases. This may or may not be n oticeable to you . As you move fu rther from your Router, connection speed may dec rease. Factors that can weaken sig nals simply by getting in the way of your net work’s radio waves are metal appli ances or obstructions, and walls.

If you have concerns about your network’s per formance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, t ry moving the computer to a positi on between five and 10 feet from the Router in order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties p ersist even at close range, ple ase contact Belkin Technic al Support.

Note: While some of the items listed be low can affect network

per formance, they will not prohibit y our wireless network from fun ctioning; if you are concerned tha t your n etwork is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, th is checklist may help.

1. Router Placement

Pla ce your Router, the central connec tion point of your network, as clo se as po ssible to the center of your wireless netw ork devices. To ach ieve the best wireless network cov erage for your “wireless clients” (i. e., computers enabled by Belkin Wi reless Notebook Network Ca rds,

Wir eless Desktop Network Card s, and W ireless USB Adapters):

• Ens ure that your Router’s networking antennas are parallel to each oth er, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Rou ter itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as pos sible in an upward direction.

• In multistory homes, place the Router on a floor that is as close to the cent er of th e home a s possible. This may mean placing the Rou ter on a n upper floor.

• Try not to place th e Router ne ar a cor dless 2.4GHz phone.

The Router is designed to be placed on a desktop. All of the cables exit from the rear of the Router for better organization and utility. The LED indicators are easily visible on the front of the Router to provide you with information about network activity and status.

Introduction

section

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avo id placing your Router near device s that m ay emit radio “noise,” suc h as mic rowave ovens. Dense object s that c an inhibit wireless com munication incl ude :

• Refrigerators

• Washers and/or dryers

• Metal cabinets

• Large aquariums

• Metallic-based UV tinted windows If your wir eless signal seems weak in some spots, mak e sure t hat obj ects such as these are not blocking the signal’s p ath (between your com puters and Router).

3. Cordless Phones

If the perf ormance of your wireless network i s impaired after attending to the abov e issues, and you h ave a co rdless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from your Rou ter and your wir eless-enabled c omp uters.

• Unp lug and remove the battery from any cordle ss phone that ope rates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If this fix es the p roblem, your phone may be interfer ing.

• If your pho ne supports channel select ion, change the channel on the phon e to the farthest c hannel from your wirele ss network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Rou ter to c hannel 11. See your phone’s user manual fo r detailed ins tructions.

• 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 apa rtment building s or office complexes, there may be wireless net works nearby that can conflict wit h yours. Use the Site Survey cap abilities found in the Wireless Ut ility of your wireless adapter to loc ate any other wireless networks th at are a vailable (see your wireles s ada pter’s user manual), and move your Router and computers to a

cha nnel as far away from other networks as possible.

• Exp eriment with more than one of the availabl e channels, in ord er to fi nd the c learest connection and avo id interference from nei ghboring cordle ss phones o r other wireless device s.

• For Belkin wireless networkin g products, use the detailed Site Sur vey and wireless channel information included wit h your wir eless network card. See your netwo rk card’s user guide for mor e information.

Introduction

The se guidelines should allow you to cover th e maximum possible area wit h your R outer. Should you need to cover an even wider area , we sug gest the Belkin Wireless Range Ext ender/Access Po int .

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

Sec ure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used wh ere security is important. Secure connections includ e:

• Vir tual Private Network (VPN) connections, often use d to connec t rem otely to an office network

• The “Bring Your Own Access” program from Amer ica Online (AOL), whi ch lets you use AOL through broadband prov ided by another cab le or DS L service

• Mos t online banking websites

• Man y commercial websites that require a user name and password to access y our account

Sec ure connections can be interrupted by a co mputer’s power man agement setting , which cau ses it t o “go to sleep.” The simplest sol ution to avoid this is to s imply reconnect by reru nning the V PN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secur e website.

A second al ternative is to change your comput er’s power man agement setting s so it does not go to sleep; howev er, this ma y not be appr opriate for portable compu ters. To change your power man agement setting under Wind ows, see the “Power Options” item in the Control Panel.

If you cont inue to have difficulty with Secur e Connections, VPNs, and AOL , please review the steps above to be sure you have addres sed the se issues.

Changing LAN Settings

All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and cha nged here.

1. IP Add ress

The “IP add ress” is the internal IP address of the Router. Th e default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To acces s the ad vanced setup interface, typ e this I P address into the address bar of your browser. Th is address can be chan ged if n eeded. To c hange the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose sho uld be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192 .168.x.x (where x is anything betw een 0 an d 255)

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

2. Subn et Mask

The re is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, adv anced feature of your Belkin Route r. It is possible to change the sub net mask if necessary; however, do NOT mak e changes to the sub net mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default set ting is “255.255.255.0”.

3. DHCP S erver

The DHCP se rver function makes settin g up a network v ery easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the net work aut omatically. The default se tting is “On”. The DHCP server can be tur ned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a stati c IP add ress for ea ch computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP se rver, select “Off” and click “Appl y Changes”.

4. IP Poo l

The range o f IP add resses set aside for dynamic assig nment to th e com puters on your network. The defaul t is 2–1 00 (99 c omputers). If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new sta rting and ending IP address and clicking o n “Apply Changes”. The DHC P server can assign 100 IP addresses autom atically. This means tha t you ca nnot specify an IP address pool larger tha n 100 co mpu ters. For example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed th e 100-client limit. The starting I P address m ust be

low er in nu mber than the ending IP address.

5. Leas e Time

The length of time the DHCP se rver will reserve the IP addres s for eac h computer. We recommend that you leave th e lease time set to “Fo rever”. The default settin g is “Fo rever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP a ddress by the DHCP server, the IP add ress will not change for that particular c omputer. Setting lease tim es for s horter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP add resses after the specified period of time. This also means that a par ticular compute r’s IP addr ess may change over time. If you have set any of the other ad vanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address. Fo r this r eas on, you wil l not wa nt the I P address t o change.

If your appli cation is not listed, you will need to con tact the application vendo r to fin d out wh ich port settings you need.

Choosing an Application

Sel ect your application from the drop -down list. Click “Add”. The set tings will be transferred to the next avai lable space in the screen. Cli ck “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that ap plication. To rem ove an a pplication, select the num ber of t he row t hat you wan t to rem ove then click “Clear”.

Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server

To manually enter settings, enter the IP addr ess in t he space pr ovided for the int ernal (server) machine, th e port(s) required to pass (use a com ma between multiple ports) , select the port type (TCP or UDP), and click “ Apply Changes”. You can only pass one port per int ern al IP add ress. Opening ports in your firewa ll can p ose a se curity risk. You can enable and disable settings very quickly. It is r ecommended that you disable the settings when you are not using a specific ap pli cation.

Setting Client IP Filters

The Router can be c onfigured to restrict acce ss to th e Internet, e-mail, or other network servic es at sp ecific days and time s. Restriction can be set for a single co mputer, a r ange of computers, or multiple com puters.

To restrict Internet access to a single compu ter for example, enter the IP address of the c omputer you wish to restrict acces s to in the IP fie lds (1). Next, ente r “80” i n both t he port fields (2). Select “Both” (3). Sel ect “Block” (4). You can also select “Alwa ys” to b lock access all of the time . Select the day to start o n top (5 ), the t ime to s tart on top (6), the day to end on the bottom (7), and the time to stop (8) on the bot tom. Select “Enable” (9). Click “Apply Cha nges”. The computer at the IP addr ess you specified will now be blocked from Internet a ccess at the time s you sp ecified. Note: Be sure y ou have selected the correct tim e zone u nder “Utilities> System Se ttings> Time Zone”.

Setting MAC-Address Control

The MAC-address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which computers are allowe d on the network. Any computer att empting to access the network that is not specified in the fi lter list wil l be den ied access. When you enable this feature, you must en ter a nam e for th e user a nd the M AC address of each client on your network to allow ne twork access. Next, click “Add” to save th e settings.

Blocking an ICMP Ping

Com puter hackers use what is known as “pingin g” to fi nd potential vic tims on the Internet. By pinging a specifi c IP add ress and re ceiving a response from the IP address, a hacker can de ter mine that something of interest might be there. The Router can be set up so it will not res pond to an ICMP ping from t he outside. This height ens your Rou ter’s security level.

Changing the Login Time-Out Setting

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface

section

The login t ime-out option allows you to set the perio d of tim e that you can be logg ed into the Router’s advanced setu p interface. The timer sta rts when there has been no activity. For example, imagine you have mad e some c hanges in the advanced setup inter face, then left your com puter alone without clicki ng “Logout”. Assuming t he time-out is set to 10 minut es, 10 m inutes after you leave, the login session wil l expire. You will ha ve to lo g into t he Router a gain to make any more changes. The login t ime-out option is for security pur poses and the default is set to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Rou ter’s advanced setup inter face at one time.

Setting the Time and Time Zone

The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Netwo rk Time Pro tocol (SNTP) server. This allows t he Router to synchronize the sys tem clock to the global Internet. The sync hronized clock in the Rou ter is u sed to r ecord the s ecurity log and control client fil tering. Sel ect the time zone that you reside in. You have the option to select a primary a nd a bac kup NTP ser ver to k eep your Router’s clock syn chronized. Sele ct your des ired NPT server from the drop-down box, or simply k eep it a s is.

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPn P (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanc ed feature offered by your Bel kin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless o peration of voice me ssaging, video messaging, games, and other applicati ons tha t are UP nP-compliant. Some applications require t he Router’s fir ewall to be configured in a specific way to operat e properly. This usu ally requires opening TCP and UDP ports, a nd in so me instances, set ting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant ha s the abi lity to communicate with the Route r, basically “telling” the Router whi ch way i t needs the firewall configured. T he Router ships with the UPn P feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnPcom pliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP fea tures, you can ena ble the UPnP feature. Simply selec t “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” sec tion of the “Utilities” page. Clic k “Apply Changes” to save the cha nge.

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

Thi s innovation provides the Router w ith the built-in capabilit y to aut omatically chec k for a new version of firm ware and alert you that the new fir mware is available. When you log into the Router’s ad vanced int erface, the Router will perform a check to see if new firm war e is ava ilable. If so, you will be notified. You can choos e to dow nlo ad the new version or ignore it.
