Position Your Gateway
The modem router lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your
WiFi network. However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can vary
significantly depending on the physical placement of your modem router. For example, the
thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other WiFi access points in and around your home might affect your modem
router’
s signal. WiFi access points are modem routers, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, and
any other device that emits a WiFi signal for network access.
Position your modem router according to the following guidelines:
• Place your modem router near the center of the area where your computers and other
devices operate, and within line of sight to your WiFi devices.
• Make sure that the modem router is within reach of an
AC power outlet and near Ethernet
cables for wired computers.
• Place the modem router in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings
between the modem router and your other devices.
