Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance 
 
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your 
wireless router (or access point). Typical indoor operating range for your wireless 
devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection 
and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your wireless 
router (or access point) and connected devices increases. This may or may not 
be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your wireless router (or access 
point), connection speed may decrease. Factors that can weaken signals simply 
by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves are metal appliances or 
obstructions, and walls. 
 
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to 
range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between five 
and 10 feet from the wireless router (or access point) in order to see if distance is 
the problem. If difficulties persist even at close range, please contact Belkin 
Technical Support.
 
 
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they 
will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that 
your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may 
help. 
 
1. Placement of your Wireless Router (or Access Point) 
Place your wireless router (or access point), the central connection point of your 
network, as close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices.
 
 
To achieve the best wireless network coverage for your “wireless clients,” (i.e. 
computers enabled by Belkin Wireless Desktop Cards, Wireless Desktop Cards, 
and Wireless USB Adapters): 
 
• Ensure that your wireless router’s (or access point’s) antennas are parallel to 
each other, and are positioned vertically (toward the ceiling). If your wireless 
router (or access point) itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much 
as possible in an upward direction. 
 
• In multistory homes, place the wireless router (or access point) on a floor that is 
as close to the center of the home as possible. This may mean placing the 
wireless router (or access point) on an upper floor.
