Changing the wireless channel – Depending on local wireless
traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your
network can improve performance and reliability. The default
channel the router is shipped with is channel 11. You may choose
from several other channels depending on your region; see your
router’s user manual for instructions on how to choose other
channels.
Limiting the wireless transmit rate – Limiting the wireless
transmit rate can help improve the maximum wireless range,
and connection stability. Most wireless cards have the ability
to limit the transmission rate. To change this property, go to
the Windows Control Panel, open “Network Connections” and
double-click on your Card’s connection. In the “Properties”
dialog, select the “Configure” button on the “General” tab
(Windows 98 users will have to select the Wireless Card in the
list box and then click “Properties”), then choose the “Advanced”
tab and select the rate property. Wireless client cards are usually
set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you,
but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless
signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more
stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you
find the best one for your environment; note that all available
transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the
Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s literature.
If issues persist even at close range, please contact Belkin
