Installing the SOMAport
Choosing the best location for the SOMAport
Although the SOMAport internal antenna is self-aiming, you can take steps to
optimize the signal reception and performance of the SOMAport 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 on a surface such as a desk rather than in a cupboard or
under a table.
Place the SOMAport near a window rather than on the other side of the
room.
Avoid placing the SOMAport close to certain electronic devices, such as
microwave ovens and computer monitors, as this can cause interference.
