Troubleshooting

Data transfer is sometimes slow

Wireless Technology is radio-based, which means connectivity and the throughput performance between devices decreases when the distance between devices increases. Other factors that will cause signal degradation (metal is generally the worst culprit) are obstructions such as walls and metal appliances. As a result, the typical indoor range of your wireless devices will be between 100 to 200 feet. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move further from the Wireless Router or Access Point.

In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer, if possible, to five to ten feet from the Wireless Router or Access Point. Please see the section titled “Placement of your Wireless Networking Hardware for Optimal Performance” on page 2 of this manual.

If issues persist even at close range, please contact please contact Belkin Technical Support.
