Did you know that signals from your cell phone interfere with your wireless internet signal. So do cordless phones, radios, and even your microwave will interfere with your connection. How to keep from having your signal drained? Move your routers channel up to 11. The majority of your interference will occur at channel 8 and bellow. So put that bad boy at 11 and enjoy your internet!
To do so with a Linksys router do the following….
- Open a web browser (such as Internet Explorer or Firefox)
- When the browser opens, go to the “Address” bar and input the IP address of the Wireless Router (The default IP Address is 192.168.1.1).
- A “User Name” and “Password” prompt will appear, leave the “User Name” field blank and input the Wireless Routers password (The default password of a Linksys Router is admin) into the “Password” field.
n the “Basic Wireless Settings” page, there is a “Channel” area, in that area, click on the drop down list and use only channel11.
After changing the channel, click on the Save Settings button on the “Basic Wireless Settings” screen, then a page will appear prompting that the settings were successful, and when that page appears, click on the Continue button.
On a Belkin….
1. Open an Internet Explorer window on your computer and type in http://192.168.2.1 in the address bar. This will take you to the Belkin router’s web based configuration page. If you are not able to open the page click here.
2. You will get a login page. Leave the password blank. Click Submit .
3. On the left side of the page, click Channel and SSID below Wireless .
4. The wireless channel on the Belkin router is set to Auto by defualt. Change the wireless to a static channel. Click Apply Changes .
5. Click Logout in the top right hand corner.
