For optimal performance, it is recommended to position the Synology Router as advised below:

from the wireless devices
• In a position where few walls and ceilings are between your Synology Router and its client devices
• Away from any potential electrical signal sources, such as other Wi-Fi routers, 3G/4G bases, and microwave
ovens.
