Troubleshooting
Signal strength is poor.
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 from the wireless router (or access point) . Please see
the section titled "Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware
for Optimal Performance" in this manual .
If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin
Technical Support .
