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 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.

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.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

that may emit radio “noise”, such as microwave ovens. Other

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:

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
