Using a computer that is connected to the Router via a network
cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID”
is enabled. This setting is found on the Router’s wireless
“Channel and SSID” configuration page.
If you are still unable to access the Internet after completing
these steps, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Problem:
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 further 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 ten
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 page
47 - “changing the wireless channel” for instructions on how to
choose other channels.
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 the Network Connections and double-click on
