My wireless network per formance is slow, inconsistent, suffers from weak signal, or I’m having difficulty maintaining a VPN connection. 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. Note also that connection speed may decrease as you move farther away from the Router. In order to determine if wireless issues are related to range, we suggest temporarily moving the computer within 10 feet from the Router if possible. Changing the wireless channel—Depending on local wireless traffic and interference, switching the wireless channel of your network can improve performance and reliability. See the section titled “Changing the Wireless Channel” for instructions on how to choose other channels. 24 Troubleshooting, Support, and Warranty Limiting the wireless transmit rate—Limiting the wireless transmit rate can help improve range and connection stability.
