Troubleshooting
Placement of your wireless networking hardware for
optimal performance
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your wireless router.
Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between 100 and 200 feet. In the
same way, your wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the
distance between your wireless router and connected devices increases. This may or may not
be noticeable to you. As you move farther from your wireless 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, obstructions, and walls.
