Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce
the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that
will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of
your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets
and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and
masonry walls.
c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic
objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the
wireless device, the better.
d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors,
and fluorescent lighting.
