Introduction

Placement of your Wireless G Plus MIMO Router

Important Factors for Placement and Setup
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is
to your Router (or access point). Typical indoor operating range for
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 Router (or access
point) and connected devices increases. This may or may not be
noticeable to you. As you move farther from your 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 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. Wireless Router (or Access Point) Placement
Place your 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 Notebook
Network Cards, Wireless Desktop Network Cards, and Wireless
USB Adapters):
• Ensure that your Router's (or access point's) networking
antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned
vertically (toward the ceiling). If your Router (or access point)
itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as
possible in an upward direction.
• In multistory homes, place the Router (or access point) on a
floor that is as close to the center of the home as possible.
This may mean placing the Router (or access point) on an
upper floor.
