My wireless network performance is inconsistent Data transfer is sometimes slow Signal strength is poor Difficulty establishing and/or maintaining a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection 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 Router or Access Point 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 32 for instructions on how to choose other channels G Wireless Modem Router 67 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 cards 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 cards user manual TRoUblesHooTInG table of c ontents sections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Problem:

How do I extend the range of my wireless network?

appendix b: Important factors for Placement and setup 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 (or access Point) Placement 2 avoid obstacles and Interference Refrigerators Avoid placing your wireless router (or access point) near devices that may emit radio noise, such as microwave ovens Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:

Washers and/or dryers Metal cabinets Metallic-based UV tinted windows Large aquariums If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signals path (between your computers and wireless router or access point) Place your wireless router (or access point), 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

(ie, computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Notebook Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless USB Adapters):

Ensure that your wireless routers (or access points) networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically

(toward the ceiling) If your wireless router (or access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas a much as possible in an upward direction In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or access point) on a floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible This may mean placing the wireless router (or access point) on an upper floor Try not to place the wireless router (or access point) near a cordless 24GHz phone G Wireless Modem Router 83 aPPendIXes table of c ontents sections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 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 wireless routers (or access points) and your wireless-enabled computers Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 24GHz band (check manufacturers 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 wireless router (or access point) to channel 11 See your phones user manual for detailed instructions If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone 4 Choose the Quietest Channel for your Wireless network In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apar ent buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with yours Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless LAN Utility of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available

(see your wireless adapters manual), and move your wireless 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 in your User Manual These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your wireless router (or access point) Should you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/

Access Point G Wireless Modem Router 84 aPPendIXes table of c ontents sections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 5 secure Connections, VPns, and aol Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used where security is important Secure connections include:

Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to 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 Secure connections can be interrupted by a computers power management setting, which causes it to go to sleep The simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website A second alternative is to change your computers power management settings so it does not go to sleep; however, this may not be appropriate for portable computers To change your power management setting under Windows, see the Power Options item in the Control Panel If you continue to have difficulty with Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL, please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed these issues G Wireless Modem Router 85 InfoRMaTIon table of c ontents sections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Technical support You can find technical-support information on our website, wwwbelkincom, by navigating to the tech-support section If you want to contact technical support by phone, please call the number you need from the list below*:
