Advantages of Double N+ Wireless Networks

For more bandwidth, the Belkin Double N+ Wireless Router broadcasts two Wireless N signals simultaneously, one in the 2..4GHz band and the other in the 5GHz band.. Most Wi-Fi devices today can only use the 2..4GHz band, but many new laptops and media devices can run on both 2..4GHz and 5GHz bands.. The 5GHz band usually allows the device to run at higher speeds because there is less interference in this band.. For example, connect your netbook or smart phones to the 2..4GHz network to surf the net, email, and access simple web applications, and then connect your computer to the 5GHz network to enjoy higher speeds for gaming, streaming videos, etc.. If your computer can’t use the 5GHz band, please use the Belkin Double N+ Wireless USB Adapter (F6D6050)..

The 5GHz band can offer higher speeds, but, due to the laws of physics, the signal will not be able to travel as far as 2..4GHz.. If you are experiencing connection issues when farther away from the Router, please connect your device to the 2..4GHz band instead..

Placement of your Double N+ Wireless Router

Important Factors for Placement and Setup

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Router.. 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 and connected devices increases.. This may or may not be noticeable to you.. As you move further from your Router, 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 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..
