Positioning your Modem/Router
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer
is to your Modem/Router. Typical indoor operating range for your
wireless devices is between 30 and 60 metres. In the same way, your
wireless connection and performance will degrade somewhat as the
distance between your Modem/Router connected devices increases.
This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move further from
your Modem/Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that
can weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s
radio waves are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. Please
see “Appendix B: Important Factors for Placement and Setup” in this
User Manual for more guidelines.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be
related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a
position between 1.5 metres and 3 metres from the Modem/Router, in
order to see if distance is the problem. If difficulties persist even at
close range, please see the Troubleshooting section for solutions.
