Position Your Modem Router
The modem router lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your WiFi network.
However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can vary significantly depending on the
physical placement of your modem router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal
passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other WiFi access points in and around your home might affect your modem router's signal.
WiFi access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, and any other device that emits a WiFi
signal for network access.
Position your modem router according to the following guidelines:
•
Place your modem router near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate,
and within line of sight to your WiFi devices.
•
Make sure that the modem router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for
wired computers.
•
Place the modem router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the
modem router and your other devices.
•
Place the modem router away from electrical devices such as these:
-
Ceiling fans
-
Home security systems
-
Microwaves
-
