Linksys WUSB600N Wireless USB Network Adapter

The Ultra RangePlus Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter is the simple way to add or upgrade wireless connectivity in your desktop or notebook computer. Just plug it into your computer's USB port and enjoy incredible high-speed wireless network access. The Dual-Band Wireless-N USB Network Adapter uses Wireless-N (draft 802.11n). By overlaying the signals of multiple radios for each band, Wireless-N's "Multiple In, Multiple Out" (MIMO) technology multiplies the effective data rate. Unlike ordinary wireless networking technologies that are confused by signal reflections, MIMO actually uses these reflections to increase the range and reduce "dead spots" in the wireless coverage area. The robust signal travels farther, maintaining wireless connections much farther than standard Wireless-G. And with Wireless-N, the farther away you are, the more speed advantage you get. It works great with standard Wireless-G, -A, and -B equipment, but when both ends of the wireless link are Wireless-N, the throughput can be increased even more by using twice as much radio band.

Wireless Range !

Tips to improve the Wireless Range.

How Can the Range of a WiFi Network Be Boosted? The wireless signal strength depends on many variables. Like the position of the Router / Access Point, interfering devices, thickness of the walls, the adapter/receiver on the computers. We will discuss some factors that will help boost the wireless range and performance.

The router should not be placed in an isolated part of the house. The router should not be placed near a Television set or any other electronic devise. Avoid placing the router in a cupboard or behind any thing. If the wireless router is against an outside wall of the house , the signal will be weak on the other side of your home. Common sources of interference in residences include brick or plaster walls, microwave ovens, and cordless phones. But there are many other ways to boost the signal of the wireless network. Try keeping the Access Point / Router elevated from the floor and away from any electronic device. Open the Setup page of the Router [the default IP Address is 192.168.1.1] and change the Wireless Channel. Try different combinations to best optimse the coverage. For N-Series devices, keep the Radio Band to 40 MHz Channel, Wide Channel to 9 and Standard Channel to 11-2.462 GHz. If you are using a N-Series Access point / Router, also use a N-Series adaptgers to enjoy the N-Series Connectivity. If you place the router is a central position of the house, the wireless range will be covered in the entire house [ofcourse depends on the size of the house] all the devices will be able to connect wireless without any hassel. The N-Series provides a maximum speed of 270MBPS. You can also replace the wireless antennas on the router to boost the range. Like high gain antennas. Or adjust the position of the antenna on the router or the computers to get better reception. Try using a Range Expander to extend the wireless signal. Keep the firmware on the router and the drivers on the adapter updated.

Configure WVC54GC with Belkin Router !

How to Configure WVC54GC with a Belkin Router.

• The Linksys camera's Default IP Address is 192.168.1.115.
  
• The Belkin Router's Default IP Address is 192.168.2.1
  
• First, connect a computer to the camera with an Ethernet cable.
  
• Assign a Static IP Address to the computer : 192.168.1.10
  
• The Subnet Mask should be 255.255.255.0
  
• Default Gateway is not necessary.
  
• Open Internet Explorer, in the Address Bar type 192.168.1.115
  
• The Username and passwod is admin.
  
• On the setup page of the camera, click Setup.
  
• Change the IP Address to 192.168.2.115 [ from 192.168.1.115 ].
  
• In the Gateway, type the IP Address of the Belkin router [192.68.2.1].
  
• In the Wireless settings, put the SSID and security Exactly similar to that of the Belkin router.
  
• Network Type : Infrastructure. Save Settings. Remove the static IP from the computer.
  
• Powercycle the network. Port 1024 needs to be forwarded on the Belkin router.
  

It should work. :)
