Troubleshooting
Data transfer is sometimes slow
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 further from the Wireless Router or Access Point.
In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we
suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to
ten feet from the Wireless Router or Access Point. Please see the
section titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware
for Optimal Performance” on page 2 of this manual. If issues
persist even at close range, please contact please contact Belkin
Technical Support.

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 your
router or access point user manual 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
