Position Your Router

The router lets you access your network from virtually 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 router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, place your router:

•Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and preferably within line of sight to your wireless 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 router and your other devices to a minimum.
