Placement of your Double N+ Wireless Router
Important factors for Placement and setup
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is
to your Router . Typical indoor operating range for 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 Router and connected
devices increases . This may or may not be noticeable to you . As you
move further from your Router, 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 Router 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 .
For more bandwidth, the Belkin Double N+ Wireless Router broadcasts
two Wireless N signals simultaneously, one in the 2 .4GHz band and
the other in the 5GHz band . Most Wi-Fi devices today can only use the
2 .4GHz band, but many new laptops and media devices can run on both
2 .4GHz and 5GHz bands . The 5GHz band usually allows the device to
run at higher speeds because there is less interference in this band . For
example, connect your netbook or smart phones to the 2 .4GHz network
to surf the net, email, and access simple web applications, and then
connect your computer to the 5GHz network to enjoy higher speeds for
gaming, streaming videos, etc . If your computer can’t use the 5GHz band,
please use the Belkin Double N+ Wireless USB Adapter (F6D6050) .
The 5GHz band can offer higher speeds, but, due to the laws of
physics, the signal will not be able to travel as far as 2 .4GHz . If you are
experiencing connection issues when farther away from the Router,
please connect your device to the 2 .4GHz band instead .
