Placing the Belkin Wireless USB Network Adapter
A six-foot USB cable is provided with the Adapter to allow you to place it
as high as possible. The best location is on top of your computer’s
monitor. Placing the Adapter on your desktop is acceptable, however,
avoid placing the Adapter near metal objects such as a computer case or
speakers. Any object that is metal has the ability to block the radio signals
from the Adapter.

2. Plug the USB cable into an available port on your PC. Connect the other
