11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

• If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.

4. Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network

 

 

In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment

3

buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can

conflict with yours.

 

 

 

4

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

 

 

 

5

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

6

clearest connection and avoid interference from neighboring cordless phones or

other wireless devices.

 

7

For Belkin wireless networking products, use the detailed Site Survey and

 

 

 

 

 

wireless channel information included in your User Manual.

8

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,

9

we suggest the Belkin Wireless Range Extender/Access Point.

5. Secure Connections, VPNs, and AOL

 

10

Secure connections typically require a user name and password, and are used

where security is important. Secure connections include:

 

11

• Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections, often used to connect remotely to

an office network

 

•The “Bring Your Own Access” program from America Online (AOL), which lets you use AOL through broadband provided by another cable or DSL service

•Most online banking websites

•Many commercial websites that require a user name and password to access your account

Secure connections can be interrupted by a computer’s power management setting, which causes it to “go to sleep.” The simplest solution to avoid this is to simply reconnect by rerunning the VPN or AOL software, or by re-logging into the secure website.
