CHOOSE THE BEST LOCATION
Although the SOMAport’s internal antenna is self-steering, you can
optimize signal reception by following these recommendations when
choosing a location:
Allow at least 46 centimeters (18 inches) of space around the
SOMAport.
If your home or office has multiple floors, place the SOMAport on
one of the upper floors, if possible. Avoid putting it in the
basement.
Place the SOMAport higher up in a room. For example, putting it
on a desk or a shelf will give you a stronger signal than if you place
it on the floor.
Place the SOMAport near a window.
Avoid placing the SOMAport close to certain electronic devices,
such as microwave ovens and computer monitors, as they can
cause interference.
