Introduction
Wireless Networking Speed
Currently there are three levels of wireless networking standards,
which transmit data at very different maximum speeds. Each is based
on the designation 802.11x, so named by the IEEE, the board that is
responsible for certifying networking standards. The most common
wireless networking standard, 802.11b, transmits information at
11Mbps; 802.11a and 802.11g work at 54Mbps See the following
chart for more detailed information.

Introduction
Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware
Please note that to ensure the performance of your wireless network,
you must carefully plan the positioning of your wireless networking
hardware.
Examples of Wireless Networking Hardware:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Wireless Router
Wireless Range Extender/Access Point
Wireless Notebook Network Card
Wireless Desktop Network Card
Wireless USB Network Adapter
Wireless USB Print Server
Wireless Ethernet Adapter
Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity
and 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 appliances. As a result, the typical
indoor range of your Wireless devices will be between 100–200 feet.
The Wireless Router is the central connection point of the network,
with all wireless clients (i.e. wireless notebook network cards,
wireless desktop network card, and wireless USB adapters) attached
to it. In order to achieve the best wireless network coverage for
your connected computers, your Router should be placed as close
as possible to the center of the area that your want to cover with
antennas pointing UP. 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. Wireless devices work best in
a line-of-sight situation where there are no obstacles between the
wireless client and the Router.

method of operation, since the computer will be configured to print to
a specific IP address which, if changed, would make the Print Server
inoperable.

In most cases, the Belkin Port Monitor (a virtual printer port) software
will be automatically installed and configured by the Print Server
Setup Wizard. Some advanced users may choose to manually
configure the Belkin Port Monitor software. This can be achieved by
using the Belkin Port Monitor’s Advanced Menu, which allows the
user to enter a specific Print Server’s IP address and to designate
a specific printer or “queue” for print jobs connected to that Print
Server. The Advanced Menu features help when there is more than
one Print Server available on your network, and when print jobs fail
because the Port Monitor cannot determine the name of the printer.

Troubleshooting
Cannot find Print Server
If the Wizard cannot find your Print Server even though it appears
to be functioning properly, the problem may be that the Ethernet
cable connected to the Print Server and Router may be loose.
Check to see that the Ethernet cable is connected properly and
try repowering the Print Server and your Router.
Note: When connecting your Print Server to your network, or
when you disconnect and reconnect or replace the router to
which your Print Server is connected, be sure to restore factory
defaults on the Print Server by holding in the reset button for 10
seconds while repowering the Print Server. This will restore the
IP address to dynamic to establish a new IP address to be used
with the new network or router.
• It could be that the computer is set to print to the wrong
printer. Verify that the printer connected to the Print Server
is set as the “default printer”.
• When troubleshooting a printing problem, try to determine
whether any of the computers on the network can access
the Print Server. If some computers can print, and some
cannot, then the problem is most likely not the Print Server
or the printer, but the printer driver settings on the specific
computer. In this case, run the Print Server Setup Wizard
again to reconfigure the computer. If this still doesn’t correct
the problem, delete the printer driver from your computer.
Reinstall it using the manufacturer’s CD that came with your
printer (it should direct you to check the manufacturer’s
website for updated drivers); then run the Setup Wizard
again. In some cases, drivers from a printer manufacturer
might support Print Servers in Windows XP or 2000, but
not Windows 98. Check the Belkin website for compatibility
• If none of the computers can access the Print Server, then
either:
1. The Print Server has not been configured correctly (in this
case, rerun the Setup Wizard);
2. Or, the printer you have connected to the Print Server does
not support a print-server connection. Check the Belkin
com/support/F1UP0301.

If the Print Server has been configured before, and the IP
address has already been set to another subnet, the best solution
is to restore factory defaults on the Print Server. Do this by
holding down the reset button while repowering the Print Server.
After a reset, the Print Server will generally receive an IP address
in the correct subnet.
3
“No printer” error screen appears during setup. In most cases,
this error occurs when the printer is not powered on, or it is not
enabled (or online). After you have checked this, make sure that
it is not out of paper or jammed. Some printers “sleep” after
periods of inactivity. In any of these cases, restore the printer to
functionality, then, if necessary, reboot the Print Server. Some
USB printers are not compatible with Print Servers. To check the

Troubleshooting
“Cannot communicate with printer” or “printer not
found” error message appears in Printer Driver
Status Monitor
Again, this may result from:
If those issues are addressed and the problem still exists, Belkin
recommends that the user disable the Printer Driver Status
Monitor on the computer. The status monitor, a convenient
checkpoint for the user, usually requires a direct connection
between the computer and the printer. It may not communicate
with the printer when connected to a print server on a network.
Instead, use the Windows “Printer Status” window to check
printing status.

If the CD-ROM does not start the Setup Utility automatically, it
could be that the computer is running other applications that are
