Placement of your Wireless networking

Hardware for Optimal Performance

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer

is to your wireless router (or access point) . Typical indoor operating

range for your 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 wireless router (or access

point) and connected devices increases . This may or may not be

noticeable to you . As you move farther from your wireless router

(or access point), 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 from the wireless router (or

access point) 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 .
