Introduction

Placement of your Wireless Networking 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 further 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 ten feet from the Wireless Router, in order

to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close

range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.

IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR PLACEMENT AND SETUP

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.

1. Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware

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.

To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless

clients” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook Network

Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

• Ensure that your Wireless Router (or Access Point) networking

antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically

(toward the ceiling). If your Wireless Router (or Access Point)

itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as

possible in an upward direction.

Introduction

section

• In multistory homes, place the Wireless Router (or Access Point)

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.

• Try not to place the Wireless Router (or Access Point) near a

cordless 2.4GHz phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Wireless Router or Access Point near devices that

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

can inhibit Wireless communication can include:

• Refrigerators

• Washers and/or dryers

• Metal cabinets

• Large aquariums

• Metallic-based UV tinted windows

If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that

objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your

computers and Wireless Router or Access Point)

3. Cordless Phone Placement

If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after attending

to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from Wireless Routers (or

Access Points) and your wireless-enabled computers

• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that

operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturers information).

If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.

• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel

on the phone to the furthest channel from your wireless network,

as possible. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and

move your Wireless Router to channel 11. See your phone’s user

manual for detailed instructions.

• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz

cordless phone.

Introduction

4. Choose the “quietest” channel for your wireless network

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 Wireless LAN Utility to locate any other wireless

networks (see page 16 of this manual), 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.

5. Secure connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connections are connections that typically require a user name

and password, and are used where security is important. Secure

connections include:

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect

remotely to an office network

• The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online

(AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by

another cable or DSL service

• Most on-line banking websites

• Many commercial websites which require a user 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 web site.

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 under Windows, see the “Power Options” item in

the Control Panel.

Introduction

section

If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connection, VPNs and

AOL please review steps 1-4 above 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 area, please go to the networking product section on

(www.belkin.com/networking) for more details on Belkin’s Wireless

Range Extender/Access Point.
