Introduction
• Refrigerators
• Washers and/or dryers
• 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 signal's path between
your computers and wireless router (or access point) .
3 . Cordless Phone Placement
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after
attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
• Try moving cordless phones away from the wireless router (or
access point) and your wireless-enabled computers .
• Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that
operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer's information).
If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering .
• If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the
phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network as possible . For
example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your wireless router (or
access point) to channel 11 . (Your channel selection will vary depending
on your region .) See your phone's user manual for detailed instructions .
• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
4 . Choose the "Quietest" Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as
apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks
nearby that can conflict with yours . Use the Site Survey capabilities
of your Belkin Wireless Networking Utility to locate any other wireless
networks, and move your wireless router (or access point) and computers
to a channel as far away from other networks as possible .
Experiment with more than one of the available channels in
order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from
neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices .
