D6300 WiFi DSL Modem Router
Position Your Wireless Router
The WiFi modem router lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless
connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For
example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the
range. For best results, place your router:
Near the
cen

preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.

waves, computers, or the base of a cordless phone or
2.4-GHz cordless phone.

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
Note: The D6300 should be put in a vertical position only.
Also be aware that when you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points
use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel
spacing between adjacent access points is five channels (for example, use Channels 1 and
6, or 6 and 11).
