For best performance, please place your router:
Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
Accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
In an elevated location such as a high 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, such as ceiling fans, home
security systems, microwaves, PCs, 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.
