Introduction Placement of your Wireless G Plus MIMO ADSL2+ Modem Router Important Factors for Placement and Setup Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your Router. Typical indoor operating range for wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you.
Introduction Avoid placing your Router near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include: • Refrigerators • Washers and/or dryers • Metal cabinets • Large aquariums • Metallic-based UV tinted windows If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as these are not blocking the signal’s path (between your computers and Router). 2 3 4 5 3.
