With the modem router, you can access your network from anywhere within the

of the wireless signal, for example, concrete structures, thick walls.
For best Wi-Fi performance, and to keep your network secure:

excessive heat.

electromagnetic waves.

as well as to a power source.
• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.
