Positioning your Router
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your
Router. Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between
30m and 60m. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance
will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected
devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move
farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can
weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network's radio waves
are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. If you have concerns about
your network's performance that might be related to range or obstruction
factors, try moving the computer to a position between 1.5m and 3.0m from
the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem.
