Introduction
Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance
Important Factors for Placement and Setup
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is
to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for wireless devices is
between 100 and 200 feet.
In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will
degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and
connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable
to you. As you move farther from your Router, connection speed
may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply by getting
in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or
obstructions, and walls.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be
related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a
position between five and 10 feet away from the Router in order to see
if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range,
please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Note:
While some of the items listed below can affect network
performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from
functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at
its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.
1.
Wireless Router Placement
Place your
Router, the central connection point of your network,
as close as possible to the center of your wireless
network devices.
To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless
clients” (i.e., computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook
Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless
USB Adapters):
•
Ensure that your
Router’s networking
antennas are parallel
to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the
ceiling). If your Router itself is positioned vertically, point the
antennas as much as possible in an upward direction.
•
In multistory homes, place the
Router on a floor that is as
close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean
placing the Router on an upper floor.
•
Try not to place the
Router near a cordless phone.

2.
Avoid Obstacles and Interference
Avoid placing your
Router near devices that may emit radio
“noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit
wireless communication include:
• Refrigerators
• Washers and/or dryers
• Metal cabinets
• Large aquariums
• Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that
objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between
your computers and Router).
3.
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after
attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
• Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your
wireless-enabled computers.
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone
that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check the manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may
be interfering.
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the
channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your
wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel
1 and move your Router to channel 11. See your phone’s user
manual for detailed instructions.
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz cordless phone.
4.
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as
apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless
networks nearby that can conflict with yours.
Use the Site
Survey capabilities found in the wireless utility
of your wireless adapter or card to locate any other wireless
networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s
or card’s
user manual), and move your Router and computers to a channel
as far away from other networks as possible.
