Keep the device away from metal obstructions and away
from direct sunlight.

Keep the device away from 802.11g or 20MHz only
Wi-Fi devices, 2.4GHz computer peripherals, Bluetooth
devices, cordless phones, transformers, heavy-duty motors,
fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, refrigerators, and other
industrial equipment to prevent signal interference or loss.
•
For the best front-to-rear coverage, place the wireless router in
an upright position.
