Position Your Wireless 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.

Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling 

fans, home security systems, microwaves, PCs, or the base of a cordless phone or 
2.4 GHz cordless phone. 

Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large 

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and 
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

With the antenna in a vertical position to provide the best side-to-side coverage or with 

the antenna in a horizontal position to provide the best up-and-down coverage, as 
applicable.

Also be aware that when you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points 
use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel 
spacing between adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, 
or 6 and 11).

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant 

performance degradation or the inability to wirelessly connect to the 
router.
