Position Your 4G LTE Router

With the router, you can access your network from anywhere within the wireless network

coverage. However, the wireless signal strength and coverage varies depending on the

actual environment where your router is in. Many obstacles may limit the range of the

wireless signal, for example, concrete structures, thickness and number of walls.

For your security and best Wi-Fi performance, please:

• Do not locate the router in the place where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive

heat.

• Keep away from strong electromagnetic radiation source and electromagnetic-

sensitive devices.

• Place the router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well

as to a power source.

• Place the router in a location where it can receive a strong mobile Internet signal.

• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not

create a tripping hazard.

Tips:

The router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
