Thank you for purchasing the Belkin USB Print Server. Now you
can share your USB-equipped printers with your wired network.
The Belkin USB Print Server allows you to connect up to two USB
printers directly to your network, eliminating the need to have a
dedicated PC for printing. It offers an easy installation and setup that
has you sharing printers in minutes. Please read through this manual
completely to be sure that you are getting the most from your new
Belkin USB Print Server.
Belkin home networking lets you easily enjoy these
additional advantages
• 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 e-mail,
and chat
What types of connections are used to create a home network?
The two common ways to set up a home network are with wireless
and wired technologies.
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 Wizard makes
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

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.

Advantages of a wired network:
• Low cost – on average, wired networking devices are less
expensive than wireless networking devices
• Faster speeds – common speed is 100Mbps with recent
technology providing up to 1000Mbps
• Flexibility – set up and access printers, computers, and other
networking devices from anywhere in your home
• Better range – wired Ethernet technology provides distance
of up to 328 feet (without a repeater), while wireless range is
typically 150 to 200 feet
• Existing wired infrastructure – because of the maturity of wired
technology, some new homes are built with an Ethernet cabling
infrastructure
• Widespread industry acceptance – a wide range of
interoperable networking products
Combining wired and wireless technologies.
Since wired technology has been around longer, you might already
own some wired networking products. In this case, consider
combining the two technologies to create a super-efficient, cost
effective home network.

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.

Try to avoid placement of wireless devices near:
• 2.4GHz cordless phones
• Microwave Ovens
• Refrigerators
• Washer/Dryer
• Metal Cabinets
• Metallic-based UV tinted windows
Note: While the above items can affect network performance, your
wireless network still will function, although probably not at its
maximum effectiveness.
