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

32
• 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.

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.

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).
