correct network name now appears under “Available Networks”, 
you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the 
suggestions discussed in Appendix B entitled “Important Factors 
for Placement and Setup”.

2.

  Using a computer that is connected to the Modem/Router via a 

network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast 
SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the Modem/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 30 
metres to 60 metres. Note also that connection speed may decrease 
as you move further from the Modem/Router or access point. 
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we 
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, 1.5m metres 
to 3 metres from the Modem/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 Modem/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 37 for 
instructions on how to choose other channels.
