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 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.

INTRODUCTION

1. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point)

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 Adapters or Cards):

 •Ensurethatyourwirelessrouter’s(oraccesspoint’s)

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.

 •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

wireless router (or access point) 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. Other

objects that can inhibit wireless communication can include:

 •Refrigerators

 •Washersand/ordryers

 •Metalcabinets

 •Largeaquariums

 •Metallic-based,UV-tintedwindows

 •Microwaves

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).

INTRODUCTION

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thewirelessrouter

(or access point) and your wireless-enabled computers.

 •Unplugandremovethebatteryfromanycordlessphonethat

operatesonthe2.4GHzband(checkmanufacturer’s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 farthest channel from your wireless network

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

move your wireless router (or access point) to channel 11.

(Your channel selection will vary depending on your region.)

See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

 •Ifnecessary,considerswitchingtoa

900MHzor5GHzcordlessphone.

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 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.

INTRODUCTION

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:

 •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onlinebankingwebsites

 •Manycommercialwebsitesthat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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

area,wesuggesttheBelkinWirelessRangeExtender/AccessPoint.
