Basic Setup

Begin by finding a good place to set up your router/access point. Some things to consider:

You’ll need to be able to plug your internet connection into it, so it should go within reach of the LAN cable from your DSL or Cable modem. You’ll also want a power outlet nearby.

Keep the access point as central in your work area as possible. Signal strength and speed fall off with distance.

Higher is often better. For instance, set it up on the top shelf of a bookcase rather than the bottom one, if possible.

Screw the antenna into the top of your AirStation.
