Positioning Your Router
The router allows you to access your network almost anywhere within a given operating
range. However, this range depends on where you place your router. The placement of
furniture, the thickness of walls, and the number of walls a signal must travel through can limit
this range.
For best results, place your router:
l
Away from interference such as microwaves, ceiling fans, security systems, or cordless
phones
l
Away from large containers of glass or concrete (fish tanks, mirrors, brick or concrete
walls)
l
Away from large metal surfaces (cook tops, metal doors, aluminum studs, appliances)
l
Close to a window but out of the way of direct sunlight (great for 4G reception)
l
Close to an AC outlet and near Ethernet computer cables
l
In an elevated location
l
In line-of-sight to wireless devices
l
Near the computers or other devices that communicate with the router
l
On an upper floor (if applicable)
When using multiple points of access, use different radio frequency channels for adjacent
access points. We recommend leaving 5 spaces between channels (1 and 6, or 3 and 8).
