2.1 Placement of your R90
Place your R90, the central connection point of your network, as close as possible to windows or in rooms at
the outer side of your house. If you also use the Wi-Fi feature of the R90, it should be placed near the center
of your wireless network devices.
To achieve the best wireless network coverage:
♦
Ensure that your R90’s networking antennas are parallel to each other, and are positioned vertically
(toward the ceiling). If your R90 itself is positioned vertically, point the antennas as much as possible in
an upward direction. In multistory homes, place the R90 on an upper floor.
♦
Avoid placing your R90 near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense
objects can interfere with wireless communication
♦
If your wireless signal seems weak in some areas, try to move the R90 to another location while
observing the signal strength indicator
