Position Your Router
The router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the 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 a
n AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
