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 center of the area where your computers and other devices 
operate, and 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. 
•     In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of 
walls and ceilings between the router and your other devices to a minimum. 
•     Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. 
Equipment that might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home 
security systems, microwaves, PCs, the base of a cordless phone, or a 
2.4-GHz cordless phone.  
•     Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or 
aluminum studs. Large expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated 
walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless 
signal.
