In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to 10
feet from the wireless router or access point. Please see the section
titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal
Performance” of this manual. If issues persist even at close range,
please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Problem:
Signal strength is poor.
Solution:
Wireless technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and
the throughput performance between devices decreases when
the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will
cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are
obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the
typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100
to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you
move farther from the wireless router or access point.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to 10
feet from the wireless router or access point.
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 Dual-Band
Wireless A+G Router is shipped with is channel 11 for 802.11g
and 36 for 802.11a. You may choose from several other channels
depending on your region; see your router or access point user
manual for instructions on how to choose other channels.
If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin
Technical Support.
