• Close to the center of the area where the wired/wireless client devices are placed, and within a visible distance
from the wireless devices.
• In a position where few walls and ceilings are between your Synology Router and its client devices.
• Away from any potential electrical signal sources, such as other Wi-Fi routers, 3G/4G bases, and microwave
ovens.
• Away from large expanses of metal or other materials, such as metal doors, glass panels, and concrete.
