•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf.
•
Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless
phones.
•
Away from large metal surfaces.

Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router
