Start Your Gateway For The First Time - NETGEAR Sprint 6100D User Manual

Note: When the gateway is powered on, you can use the Signal Quality LED
position the gateway in the location with the best signal strength.
2. Also, for best results, place your gateway:

Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and
preferably within line of sight to your Wi-Fi 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 gateway and your other devices to a minimum.

Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment
that might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems,
microwaves, computers, the base of a cordless phone, or a 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.
