Placement of your N Wireless Modem 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.
