Introduction Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance 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.
Introduction 1 Avoid Obstacles and Interference Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include: 2 • Refrigerators 3 • Washers and/or dryers 4 • Metal cabinets • Large aquariums 3. • Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows 5 If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your computers and Router).
Introduction • Experiment with more than one of the available channels in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices. • For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information included with your Wireless Network Card. See your Network Card’s user guide for more information. These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your Router.
