Introduction

Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is

to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for 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 Router and

connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable

to you. As you move farther from your Router, 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 away from the Router 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.

1. Wireless Router Placement

Place your Router, 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Router’snetworkingantennasareparallel

to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the

ceiling).IfyourRouteritselfispositionedvertically,point

the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction.

 • Inmultistoryhomes,placetheRouter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Routerneara cordless phone.

section

Introduction

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio

“noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit

wireless communication 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 Router).

3. Cordless Phones

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Routerandyour

wireless-enabled computers.

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

that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the 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. For example, change the phone to channel

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

manual for detailed instructions.

• Ifnecessary,considerswitchingtoa900MHz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 found in the wireless utility

of your wireless adapter or card to locate any other wireless

networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s or card’s

user manual), and move your Router and computers to a channel

as far away from other networks as possible.

Introduction

• 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 Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site

Survey and wireless channel information included with your

Wireless Network Card. See your Network Card’s user guide for

more information.

These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum

possible area with your Router. Should you need to cover an even

wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/

Access Point.

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 easiest

solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning 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 under Windows, see the “Power Options” item

in the Control Panel.

Ifyoucontinuetohavedifficultywithsecureconnections,VPNs,

and AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have

addressed these issues.
