or Ethernet outlet and within reach of an AC power outlet.
•
Place the AP near the center of the area where your computers and other devices
operate, and within a line of sight to your WiFi devices.
•
Place the AP in an elevated location, minimizing the number of walls and ceilings
between the AP and your WiFi client devices.
•
Place the AP away from electrical devices like these:
-
Ceiling fans
-
Home security systems
-
Microwaves
-
Computers
-
Base of a cordless phone
-
2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz cordless phones

and items such as these:
-
Solid metal door
-
Aluminum studs
-
Fish tanks

Mirrors

If other access points are nearby, consider using different radio frequency channels to
reduce interference (see Change the channel for a radio on page 123).
