Position Your Modem Router

You should operate the modem router only in a vertical position, resting on its stand.
The modem router lets you access your wireless network within its range. The range can vary
depending on the location of your modem router. For example, the thickness and number of
walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, place your
modem 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 an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings
•
between the modem router and your other devices to a minimum.
Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling
•
fans, home security systems, microwave ovens, computers, or the base of a cordless
phone or 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large
•
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.
If you use multiple access points, set up adjacent access points with different radio frequency
channels to reduce interference. NETGEAR recommends five channels of spacing for
adjacent access points (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).
