1. Verify that your Router is on and the
front-panel light shows solid blue.
2. If you are far from the Router, you might try moving
closer to see if you might have been out of range.
3. Using a computer attached to the Router via a network cable,
visit http://router/ and ensure thatBroadcast SSID” is ON.
This setting is found on theChannel and SSID” page.
My wireless network performance is slow, inconsistent,
suffers from weak signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a
VPN connection.
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. Note also that connection speed may
decrease as you move farther away from the Router.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to
range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer
within 10 feet from the Router if possible.
Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local
wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless
channel of your network can improve performance and
reliability. See the section titled “Changing the Wireless
Channel” for instructions on how to choose other channels.
39
TROUBLESHOOTING, SUPPORT, AND WARRANTY
I’ve installed this new Router and some of my network clients
(computers, game consoles, etc.) are now unable to connect.
Your new Router came pre-configured with a network name and
password, found printed on an attached card. All clients must use this
network name and password to connect wirelessly to your Router.
You will need to find the network settings on your client, select the
network name printed on the card from the list of available networks,
and enter the password when prompted to join the wireless network.
Limiting the wireless transmit rateLimiting the wireless transmit
rate can help improve range and connection stability. Most wireless
cards have the ability to limit the transmission rate. To change this
property in Windows, 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, 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.

Belkin reserves the right to discontinue any of its products without
