your wireless card’s connection. In the properties dialog, select

the configure button on the General tab (Windows 98 users will have to select the wireless card in the list box and then click properties), then choose the advanced tab and select the Rate property.

Wireless client cards are usually set to automatically adjust the wireless transmit rate for you, but doing so can cause periodic disconnects when the wireless signal is too weak; as a rule, slower transmission rates are more stable. Experiment with different connection rates until you find the best one for your environment; note that all available transmission rates should be acceptable for browsing the Internet. For more assistance, see your wireless card’s user manual.

Problem:

How do I extend the range of my wireless network

Solution:

Belkin recommends using one of the following products to extend wireless network coverage throughout large homes or offices:

•Wireless Access Point: A wireless access point can effectively double the coverage area of your wireless network. An Access Point is typically placed in the area not currently covered by your wireless router, and connected to the router using either an Ethernet cable, or through your home’s power lines using two Powerline Ethernet Adapters.

•For 802.11g (54g) wireless networks, Belkin offers a Wireless Range Extender/Access Point that can be connected wirelessly to a Belkin 802.11g Wireless Router, without requiring an Ethernet cable or Powerline Ethernet Adapters.

These Belkin products are available at your local retailer, or can be ordered from Belkin directly.
