Guidelines for Improving Your Wireless Network

The following guidelines describe how to improve and secure your wireless network.
Position the Gateway and wireless access point(s) in a central location. If the
Gateway and access point(s) are located against an outside wall of your home or office,
the signal will be weak on the other side of your home or office.
Move the Gateway away from the floor, walls, and metal objects such as metal file
cabinets. Floors, walls, and metal interfere with the Gateway's wireless signals. The
closer the Gateway is to these obstructions, the more severe the interference, and the
weaker your connection will be.
The Gateway supports STBC, which is a technique used to transfer multiple copies of
data by multiple antennas to i mprove data transfer. Using multiple antennas i mproves
data transfers and wireless stability. By default STBC is disabled on the Gateway. To
enable it, use the STBC option in the Wireless menu (see "Viewing and Editing Wireless
Configuration" on page 51).
Wireless repeaters extend your wireless network range, without requiring you to add
wiring. Place the wireless repeater halfway between your wireless access point and your
computer to boost to your wireless signal strength.
Wireless devices can broadcast on several different channels, si milar to the way
radio stations use different channels. In the United States and Canada, these channels
are 1, 6, and 11. Just like you'll someti mes hear interference on one radio station while
another is perfectly clear, sometimes one wireless channel is clearer than others. If you
encounter interference, change the Gateway's channel using the Channel Selection
and Channel options in the Wireless menu (see "Viewing and Editing Wireless
Configuration" on page 49) to see whether your signal strength i mproves. You do not
need to change your computer's configuration, because it'll automatically detect the new
channel.
If you have cordless phones or other wireless electronics in your home or office,
your computer might not be able to "hear" the Gateway over the noise from the other
