Positioning your Router
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your
Router.Typicalindooroperatingrangeforyourwirelessdevicesisbetween
30m and 60m. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance
will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected
devicesincreases.Thismayormaynotbenoticeabletoyou.Asyoumove
farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can
weakensignalssimplybygettinginthewayofyournetwork’sradiowaves
aremetalappliances,orobstructions,andwalls.Ifyouhaveconcernsabout
your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction
factors,trymovingthecomputertoapositionbetween1.5mand3.0mfrom
the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem.
