2. 1. Position Your Modem Router
With the modem 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 modem 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 modem router in the place where it will be exposed to moisture or
excessive heat.
• Keep away from the strong electromagnetic radiation and the device of
electromagnetic sensitive.
• Place the modem router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices
as well as to a power source.
• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not
create a tripping hazard.
Tips: The modem router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
Generally, the modem router is placed on a horizontal surface. The device can also be
mounted on the wall as shown in the following picture.
