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 .

• 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.

Proof of purchase may be required.
This warranty does not apply if the product has been damaged by accident, abuse, misuse, or misapplication; if the product has been modified without the written permission of Belkin; or if any Belkin serial number has been removed or defaced.
THE WARRANTY AND REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. BELKIN SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
No Belkin dealer, agent, or employee is authorized to make any modification, extension, or addition to this warranty.
BELKIN IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR UNDER ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS, DOWNTIME, GOODWILL, DAMAGE TO OR REPROGRAMMING OR REPRODUCING ANY PROGRAM OR DATA STORED IN, OR USED WITH, BELKIN PRODUCTS.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages or exclusions of implied warranties, so the above limitations of exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
