Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for
Optimal Performance

Your wireless connec ti on will be st ronger t he closer you r computer
is to yo ur W irel es s Router (o r Ac cess Point) . Typi ca l indoor oper at ing
range fo r yo ur wireless devic es i s between 1 00 a nd 200 feet . In the
same way, your wi reless c on nection and p er formance wi ll d egrade
somewhat a s the distanc e be tween your Wi rele ss R outer (or A cc es s
Point) a nd c onnected de vi ce s increases. This m ay or may not b e
noticeab le t o you. As y ou m ove further f rom yo ur Wirel ess Router
or Acces s Po int, connec ti on speed may de crea se . Factors tha t ca n
weaken s ig na ls simply b y ge tting in th e wa y of your n et wo rk’s ra di o
waves are meta l ap pliances or o bs tructions, an d walls.

If you h av e concern s about your ne tw ork’s p er formance th at m ight be
rel ated to ran ge o r obstructi on f actors, try m ov ing the com pu te r to a
position b et ween five a nd t en feet from the Wi rele ss R outer, in o rder
to see i f di stance is t he p ro bl em . If difficulties p er sist even a t cl ose
range, p le as e contact B el ki n Tech nical Suppo rt .

IMPORTANT FACTORS FOR PLACEMENT AND SETUP

Note: While so me o f the items l is ted below c an a ff ec t network

performa nc e, they will no t proh ib it your wireless ne tw ork from
function in g; if you are conce rned that y ou r network i s no t operating a t
its maxi mu m effe ct iveness, th is c hecklist ma y he lp.

1. Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware

Place your Wire less Router (or A ccess P oint), the c entral connection
point of your network, as close a s p os sible t o t he cent er of your
wireless network devices.

To achieve the b es t wireless networ k coverage for yo ur “wireless
clients” ( i. e., compute rs e nabled by B el ki n Wire less Notebo ok N etwork
Cards, Wireless Desk to p Network Cards, an d Wire le ss USB Adapte rs ):

• Ensure t hat y ou r W ireles s Rou te r (or Acce ss Poin t) ne tw or king
antennas are pa rallel to ea ch ot her, an d a re position ed ve rt ic ally
(toward the c ei ling). If yo ur Wi rele ss Ro ut er (o r Acc es s Poi nt )
itself is positioned vertic al ly, point the antennas as much as
possible in an upward d irecti on .

Introduction

• In multistory homes, place the Wireless Router (or Access Point)
on a fl oo r t ha t i s as close to the ce nter of th e hom e as possibl e.
This may mean placing the Router on an up pe r flo or.

• Try not t o p la ce th e Wireless Route r (or Access Point) near a
cordless 2.4GHz phone.

2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference

Avo id placing yo ur Wirel ess Router or A ccess Point n ea r devices t ha t
may emit r ad io “noise”, s uc h as microwave ov en s. Dense obje ct s that
can inhi bi t Wire le ss communic at io n can inclu de :

• Refriger at or s

• Washe rs and/ or dr ye rs

• Metal cabinets

• Large aq ua ri ums

• Metallic -b as ed UV ti nt ed wi nd ows

If your wi rele ss s ignal seems w ea k in some s po ts , make sure that
objects su ch as these a re not b lo cking the s ig na l’s p at h (between yo ur
computer s an d Wire less Router o r Access Poin t)

3. Cordless Phone Placement

If the pe rformance of your wirel ess n et work is im pa ired afte r att en di ng
to the ab ove i ssues, and y ou ha ve a cordless phone:

• Try moving cordless phones away from Wireless Router s (or
Access Points) and your wireless-enabl ed comp ut ers

• Unplug and re mo ve th e b at te ry from any cordless phone that
operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufactu rers informat io n).
If this f ixes the p robl em , you r pho ne may be interferi ng .

• If your p hone supports channel selectio n, ch an ge th e cha nn el
on the ph one t o t he furt he st ch an nel f rom your wireless network,
as possible. For example, change the phone to channel 1 a nd
move your Wirel ess R outer t o c ha nnel 11 . S ee yo ur phon e’s user
manual for detailed instruc ti ons.

• If necessary, co ns ider switching to a 90 0M Hz or 5G Hz
cordless phone.

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

In locat io ns where homes or o ffices a re c lo se together, su ch as
apartmen t bu ildings or office c om plexes, the re may b e wire less
networks n ea rby that ca n co nflict with y ou rs. Use the S it e Survey
capabili ti es of your Wi reless L AN Utility to l oc ate any oth er w irel es s
networks ( se e page 16 o f th is manual), a nd move your Wi rele ss R outer
(or Acce ss P oint) and computers to a channel as far away from other
networks as possible.

Experime nt w ith more than one o f the availab le c hannels, in o rder t o
find the c le ares t connection an d avoid inter fe renc e from n eighboring
cordless phone s or other wireless d ev ic es.

5. Secure connections, VPNs, and AOL

Secure connect io ns are c onnections th at typically require a us er name
and pass wo rd, an d are us ed where security i s important. Se cure
connecti on s include:

• Vir tual Private Network (VPN) connecti on s, of te n u se d to conne ct
rem otely to a n office network

• The “Bring Your Ow n Acc es s” program from America Online
(AOL), which lets you use AOL t hrou gh broadband provided by
another cable or DSL service

• Most on-line banking websit es

• Many commercial websites which re quire a user name and
password to a cc ess y our a cc ount

Secure connect io ns can be int er ru pted by a c om pu ter’s p ow er
manageme nt s etting, whi ch c auses it to “ go to sleep.” T he simplest
solution t o avoid this is t o simply reconnec t by re- ru nning the V PN o r
AOL soft wa re, or b y re -l ogging into t he secure web site.

A second a lt ernat iv e is to chang e yo ur computer ’s power
manageme nt s ettings so it d oes not go to s leep; howev er, this may
not be a pp ropr ia te for portab le c omputers. To chan ge your power
manageme nt s etting unde r Wi ndows, see th e “Power Opti on s” item in
the Cont rol Pa ne l.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting

I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly

If you are unable to connect to the Inter ne t from a w irel es s
computer, pleas e che ck the follo wi ng it em s:

1. Look at th e l ig ht s o n you r Wireless Router. If you’re u sing a

Belkin Wireless Router, the lights should be as f ol lows:

• The “ Po wer” light s hould be o n.

• The “ Co nnected” light should be on, and n ot bl in ki ng.

• The “ WAN” light should be either on or bl inking.

If your B elkin Router’s li gh ts ha ve th e above char ac te ristics, go
to number 2. below.

If this i s N OT the case, please try the followin g:

• Make su re your Router ’s power c ord is plugged in.

• Make su re all cables are c on nected between the Router
and modem.

• Are all the modems LEDs functioni ng ? If not, see your
modem’s u se r m an ua l.

• Try reboo ti ng th e Rou te r.

• Try reboo ti ng th e mod em .

If you are still having problems, please call Belkin
Technical Support.

If you are not using a B elkin Wirel ess R ou ter, consult that
Wireless Routers manufactu rers user guide.

2. Open your wire le ss ut il ity s oftware b y click in g o n the icon in

the system tray at th e b ot tom r ig ht-hand corn er of the screen.
If you’re u si ng a Belki n USB Adapte r, the tray icon should look
