Position Your 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 your router.
To take full advantage of the 11ad advanced feature, your router must be placed within 20 feet and within
line-of-sight of the 11ad enabled device that you are connecting to it
In addition, position your router according to the following guidelines:
• Place your 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
- 2.4 GHz cordless phone
• Place the router away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, insulated walls, and items such
as these:
- Solid metal door
- Aluminum studs
- Fish tanks
- Mirrors
- Brick
- Concrete
The following factors might limit the range of your WiFi:
• The thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through.
• Other WiFi access points in and around your home might affect your router’s signal.
