data transfer is sometimes slow .

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 away from the wireless router (or access point) . Please

see the section titled, “Placement of your Wireless Networking

Hardware for Optimal Performance .” If issues persist even at

close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support .

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 6. You may choose from several

other channels depending on your region; see your router’s (or access

point’s) user manual for instructions on how to choose other channels .
