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