Position the Access Point
The access point lets you access your network from 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 access point. For
example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the
range. For best results, place your access point:
•
Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.
•
So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings
between the access point and your other devices to a minimum.
