Best Locations for AirPort Express

The following recommendations can help your AirPort Express achieve the best wireless range and network coverage.

ÂÂ Avoid placing your AirPort Express behind furniture or inside cabinets. ÂÂ Don’t lay your AirPort Express on its side.

ÂÂ Don’t place your AirPort Express in areas surrounded by metal surfaces on three or more sides.

ÂÂ If you put your AirPort Express in an entertainment center with your stereo equipment, don’t surround AirPort Express with audio, video, or power cables. Place your AirPort Express so the cables are to one side. Keep as much space as possible between AirPort Express and the cables.
