Position the Router
The router lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your
WiFi network. However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can
vary significantly depending on the physical placement of the router. For example, the
thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other WiFi access points in and around your home might affect your router’s
signal. WiFi access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, and any other
device that emits a WiFi signal for network access.
Position the router according to the following guidelines:
•
Place the router near the center of the area where your computers and other devices
operate and within line of sight to your WiFi devices.
•
Make sure that the router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet
cables for wired computers.
•
Place the router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings
between the router and your other devices.
•
Place the router away from electrical devices such as these:
-
Ceiling fans
- Home security systems
- Microwaves
