vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router.
In addition, position your router according to the following guidelines:
• Place your 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 router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet
cables for wired computers.
• Place the router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings
between the router and your other devices.
• Place the router away from electrical devices such as these:
- Ceiling fans
- Home security systems
- Microwaves
- Computers
- Base of a cordless phone
- 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz cordless phones
• Place the router away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, insulated walls,
and items such as these:
