Position Your Router
The 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 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 router’s signal. Wireless access points are routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, and any other device that emits a wireless signal for network access.
Position your router according to the following guidelines:
•Place your 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 router is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
•Place the router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the router and your other devices.
