1.5. Before you Begin
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the placement of the
Router. For best performance:
• Place the Router near the center of the area where your computers and other network devices will operate.
• Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Router and the wireless devices to a minimum.
• Keep the Router away from electrical devices which are potential sources of interference, such as microwaves,
cordless phones, etc.
• Avoid placing the Router on or near metal objects (such as a solid metal door, file cabinets, metal furniture) and
reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors)
• Avoid placing the Router in enclosed spaces such as a closet, cabinet or wardrobe.
• Minimize obstructions between the Router and the wireless devices. Any obstruction, even non-metallic objects, can
weaken the wireless signal.
If your wireless signal is weak, try placing the Router in several locations and test the signal strength to determine the best
position.
