Placement of the Router to Optimize Wireless Connectivity

The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of the router. For best results, place your router:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf
• Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones
• With the Antenna tight and in the upright position
• Away from large metal surfaces
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router.
