Extending Wireless LAN Range
Overview
In large apartments or houses the wireless LAN radio signal does not
always reach into every corner. However, you can generally extend the
range of your wireless network by placing your FRITZ!Box at a better
location.
Extending the Wireless LAN Range by Optimizing the Location
When selecting the location of your FRITZ!Box, consider the following
conditions. They will have a positive influence on the extension of your
FRITZ!Box's wireless radio signal:
• Place the FRITZ!Box in a room located centrally.
• Put the FRITZ!Box on an elevated surface.
• Place the FRITZ!Box in an unobstructed location, and not, for
instance, in a cabinet or behind a large object.
• Account for structural conditions such as thick concrete walls or
ceilings.
• Eliminate sources of interference in the vicinity of your wireless
radio network, for instance, microwaves, refrigerator or baby
monitors.
• Make sure that the FRITZ!Box uses frequency ranges that are
used by as few other devices as possible. To do this, open the
FRITZ!Box user interface and select the “Wireless / Radio
Channel” menu.
If these measures are not sufficient, then you can extend the range of
your wireless radio network with a wireless repeater; see Expanding a
Wireless Radio Network, page 73.
