In order to determine if wireless issues are related to
range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer,
if possible, five to 10 feet from the Router.
Changing the wireless channel - Depending on local wireless
traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your
network can improve performance and reliability. The default
channel the Router is shipped with is channel 11, you may
choose from several other channels depending on your region;
see the section entitled “Changing the Wireless Channel” on
page XX for instructions on how to choose other channels.
Limiting the wireless transmit rate - Limiting the wireless
transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range, and
connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit
the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows
Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click
on your wireless card’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog,
select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows
98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box
and then click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab
and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually
set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you,
but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless
signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more
stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you
find the best one for your environment; note that all available
transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet.
For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.
Problem:
I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy
(WEP) security on a Belkin Router or Belkin Access Point.
Solution:
1.
Log into your Wireless Router or Access Point.
2. Open your web browser and type in the IP address of the
Wireless Router or Access Point. (The Router default is
