INTRODUCTION
Placement for Optimal Performance
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your smart device is to the Miracast Video Adapter. Typical indoor operating
range for your Miracast Video Adapter is up to 50 feet if no obstructions are in the way. In the same way, your connection and
performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Miracast Video Adapter and connected device increases. This
may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your Miracast Video Adapter, performance may decrease. Factors that
can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your Adapter’s radio waves are metal appliances or obstructions, and walls.
If you have concerns about your Miracast Video Adapter’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors,
try moving the connected device to a position between 5 and 10 feet from the Miracast Video Adapter in order to see if
distance is the problem. If difficulties persist, even at close range, please contact Belkin Technical Support.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from
functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.

INTRODUCTION

Your wireless router may cause interference with the Miracast
Video Adapter if very close, especially if it is a dual-band router.
For optimal performance of the Miracast Adapter, if possible, try
to place it at least 6 feet away from your home Wi-Fi® network.
To achieve the best connection for your smart
devices with the Miracast Adapter:

the performance of the Miracast Video Adapter. If possible,
ensure that your Miracast Video Adapter is located on
or close to the outskirts of your Wi-Fi network.
• Try not to place the Miracast Video Adapter (or
smart device) near a cordless 2.4GHz phone.
• Disconnecting your smart device from your Wi-Fi
network can also improve the video performance where
possible. video performance where possible.
Connecting your smart device to a 5GHz Wi-Fi network
will improve the video performance where possible.

attending to the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

Miracast Video Adapter (or smart device).

operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information).
If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering.
