1.4 Position Your Router
The router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your wireless network. However, the wireless communicating distance varies
significantly due to placement of the router. For example, the thickness and number of
walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, router is
likely to be place like this:
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 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.
Equipment that might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security
systems, microwaves, computers, the base of a cordless phone, or a 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.
