Choosing a Desired Location
Your iGate router serves as the centerpiece of your network. It must be positioned near your High Speed
Cable/DSL modem or Satellite/Wireless Ethernet Cable. For computers connecting to it through Wired Mode, it
must be placed near a computer or Network Hub/Switch. If you are using the High Speed Wireless Function of
your iGate router, review these guidelines before deciding where to place your iGate router:
Place the iGate router in the physical centre of your network as the antenna sends out omni directional
signals.
Place the iGate router in a higher location, such as on top of a cabinet, to help disperse the wireless signal
cleanly and evenly.
If possible, place the iGate router in a position where there is a direct line of sight between the iGate router
and your other home network devices.
