Although the SOMAport’s internal antenna is self-steering, you can
optimize signal reception by following these recommendations when
choosing a location:
„
Allow at least 46 centimeters (18 inches) of space around the
SOMAport.
„
If your home or office has multiple floors, place the SOMAport on
one of the upper floors, if possible. Avoid putting it in the
basement.
„
Place the SOMAport higher up in a room. For example, putting it
on a desk or a shelf will give you a stronger signal than if you place
it on the floor.
„
Place the SOMAport near a window.
„
Avoid placing the SOMAport close to certain electronic devices,
such as microwave ovens and computer monitors, as they can
cause interference.
