Click on the correct network name in the “Available Networks” list. 2. If the network has security (encryption) enabled, you will need to enter the network key. For more information regarding security, see the section entitled “Securing your Wi-Fi Network” in this User Manual.3. Within a few seconds, the tray icon in the lower, left-hand corner of your screen should turn green, indicating a successful connection to the network. Problem:I can’t connect to the Internet wirelessly, and my network name is not listed.Solution:If the correct network name is not listed under “Available Networks” in the wireless configuration utility, please attempt the following troubleshooting steps:1. Temporarily move your computer, if possible, five to 10 feet away from the Router. Close the wireless configuration utility, and reopen it. If the correct network name now appears under “Available Networks”, you may have a range or interference problem. Please see the suggestions discussed in the section titled “Placement of your Router for Optimal Performance” in this User Manual.2. Using a computer that is connected to the Router through a network cable (as opposed to wirelessly), ensure that “Broadcast SSID” is enabled. This setting is found on the 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.
107106107106Troubleshootingsection19234567810Problem: My wireless network performance is inconsistent.Data transfer is sometimes slow.Signal strength is poor.I am having 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 100 to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther away from the Router or access point. In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, five to 10 feet away from the 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 Router is shipped with is channel 11. You may choose from several other channels depending on your region (see the section titled “Changing the Wireless Channel” on page 48 for instructions on how to choose other channels). Limiting the Wireless Transmit Rate — Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this property, go to the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and double-click on your wireless card’s connection. In the “Properties” dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box and then click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced” tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment; note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.
108Troubleshooting108Problem: How do I extend the range of my wireless network?Solution:Belkin recommends using one of the following products to extend wireless network coverage throughout large homes or offices:• Wireless Access Point: A wireless access point can effectively double the coverage area of your wireless network. An access point is typically placed in the area not currently covered by your Wireless G Router, and is connected to the Router using either an Ethernet cable or through your home’s power lines using two Powerline Ethernet Adapters.• For 802.11g (54g™) wireless networks, Belkin offers a Wireless G Range Extender/Access Point that can be connected wirelessly to a Belkin Wireless G Router, without requiring an Ethernet cable or Powerline Ethernet Adapters.
