are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and move
your 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.
• 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

cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range
Extender/Access Point.

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
