4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with yours.
Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless LAN Utility of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s manual), and move your wireless router (or access point) and computers to
a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and wireless channel information included in your User Manual. These guidelines should allow you to cover the maximum possible area with your wireless router (or access point). Should you need to cover an even wider area, we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.
