Position Your Modem Router

The modem router lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your
wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can
vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your modem router. For example,
the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might affect your modem
router's signal. Wireless access points are modem routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders,
or any other device that emits a wireless 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 wireless 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.
