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.
