Your wireless router's position can affect your coverage area and the strength of your signal. If
you have a modem, you don't have to have the router in close proximity to your modem. Ideally,
a Wi-Fi router should be in a central location.
Quick tips to position your router for the best signal:
i. Place the router in the middle of your house. If you place the router in a room off to the side of
your house, you won't get as strong a signal on the other side of your house.
ii. Position the router's antenna vertically, so that the antenna is standing straight up. Antennas
can be adjusted and lie horizontally, but standing straight up is generally the ideal position.
