Introduction
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in
order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site
Survey and wireless channel information included in your
User Guide.
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.
5. Secure connections and VPNs
Secure connections are connections that 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
• Most on-line banking websites
• Many commercial websites which require a username and
password to access your account
Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power
management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The
simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by
re-running the VPN software, or by re-logging into
the secure web site.
A second alternative is to change your computer’s 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 Connection or VPNs
please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed these
issues.
