Wireless Router Placement Place your Router, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to the center or your wireless network devices To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless clients" (i e , computers enabled by Eelkin Wireless Notebook Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless use Adapters): - Ensure that your Router's networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling), If your Router itsell is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in an upward direction. ' in multlstory homes, place the Router ori a floor that Is as close to the center ol the home as possible This may mean placing the Router on an upper floor ~ Try not to place the Flouter near a cordless phone Introduction 2. Avoid Obstacles and Interference n Avoio placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise," such as microwave ovens Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include“ uoitaas - Relrigerators - Washers and/or dryers 7 - Metal cabinets - Large aquariums — - Metallic-based, UV—tinted windows If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signals path (between your computers and Router) 3. Cordless Phones If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after 7 attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone. - Try moving cordless phones away from the Router and your 7 Wireless-enabled computers. - Unplug and remove the battery lrom any cordless phone i that operates on the 2.4GH1 band (check the manu'acturer‘s information) It this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering — - it your phone supports channel selection change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel lrom your wireless network For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your Router to channel 11. See your phone's user manual for detailed instructions. - If necessary, consider switching to a gooMl-lz cordless phone. 4. Choose the “0uielest” channel tor your Wireless Network In locations where homes or oliices are close together, such as apartment buildings or olfice complexes, there may be Wireless networks nearby that can contlict With yours Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the wireless utility oi your wireless adapter or card to locate any other Wireless networks that are available (see your Wireless adapter’s or card’s user manual), and move your Router and computers to a channel as lar away lrom other networks as possible. Introduction ' Experiment WI|l’| more than one of the available channels In order (0 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 inlormation included WI|l’| your Wireless Network Card See your Network Cards user guide lor more information, These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area With your Router. Should you need to cover an even wider area we suggest the Belkin Wireless G Range Extender/ Access Point. 5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used where security is important Secure connections include. - Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections often used to connect remotely to an office network - The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America 0nline (AOL). which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another cable or DSL service - Most online banking websites - Many commercial websites that require a user name and password (0 access your account Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer‘s power management settingi which causes it to “go to sleep." The easiest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or AOL soltware, or by re-logging into the secure website. A second alternative is to change your computer’s power management settings so it does not go to sleep; however this may not be appropriate for portable computers To change your power management setting under Windows, see the “Power Options" item in the Control Panel if you continue to have dlfllculty viiith secure connections, VPNs. and AOL please review the steps above to be sure you have addressed these issues.
