    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.
