Study Notes
Wi-Fi Router Placement Tips
-
Central Placement: Position the router centrally in the home for optimal signal distribution to all areas. Avoid placing it near windows, which may disrupt signal strength. Central placement also enhances security.
-
Minimize Wall Interference: Thick walls absorb Wi-Fi signals. Place the router away from walls and in open areas to improve signal strength. Open doorways or hallways are helpful.
-
Electronics Separation: Avoid placing the router near other electronic devices like cordless phones, baby monitors, microwaves, and TVs. These devices emit interfering electromagnetic waves. Give the router space from other electronics.
-
Kitchen Avoidance: Steer clear of placing the router in the kitchen. Microwaves and other kitchen appliances may interfere with Wi-Fi.
-
Antenna Adjustment: Utilize antenna positioning for better coverage.
- Two-Story Homes: Position one antenna vertically and one horizontally for upstairs and downstairs coverage.
- Single-Level Homes: Point antennas straight up for maximum coverage. Experiment with antenna positioning for optimal results.
