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
- Computers
- Base of a cordless phone
