Finding a Location for Your Router
Here are some things you should consider when deciding on a proper location for your router:
Place your router as close as possible to the center of your wireless network devices. Your connection will be stronger the closer your
devices are to your router. Typical indoor operating range is up to 200 feet.
Avoid placing your router near devices that may emit "noise", including microwave ovens, refrigerators, and metal cabinets. If your
signal seems weak, make sure that objects are not blocking the signal’s path between your device and your router.
For proper ventilation, you must allow at least 4 inches (10 cm) on all sides of your router.
Avoid installing your router in places with high humidity, dust, or smoke so you do not shorten the service life of the electronic
components.
Read this user manual carefully before setting up your router.
Wall-Mounting Placement
