Optimizing Wireless Connectivity and Security

5-1

This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your WGR826V Wireless Router. 
In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should 
also select the physical placement of your firewall in order to maximize the network speed. 

The full manual with detailed how to instructions is available via the Documentation link in the 
configuration utility of the WGR826V Wireless Router.

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the 
physical placement of the Wireless Access Point. The latency, data throughput performance, and 
notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration 
choices.

For best results, place your Wireless Access Point:

•

Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate.

•

In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have 
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).

•

Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless 
phones.

•

Away from large metal surfaces.

•

Put the antenna in a vertical position for best side-to-side coverage. Put the antenna in a 
horizontal position for best up-and-down coverage. 

The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security 
settings and placement. WEP or WPA connections can take slightly longer to establish. 

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance 

degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range/
performance specifications, please see
