Placement of your Wireless Networking
Hardware for Optimal Performance
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer
is to your wireless router (or access point) . Typical indoor operating
range for your 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 wireless router (or access
point) and connected devices increases . This may or may not be
noticeable to you . As you move farther from your wireless router
(or access point), 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 wireless router (or
access point) 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 .
