SOLUTION 4 – MAXIMIZING WIRELESS RANGE The Bountiful WiFi Router offers better range than other routers; however, range is dependent on environment. To obtain maximum range:  Place the Router as high as possible and as close to the center of the coverage area as possible.  Adjust the antennas to a vertical position.  Keep the Router away from any large, metal objects.  In cases of possible interference, try changing the channel.
