2  1   Position Your Modem Router

With the modem router, you can access your network from anywhere within the 
wireless network coverage. However, the wireless signal strength and coverage varies 
depending on the environment your modem router is in. Obstacles may limit the range 
of the wireless signal, for example, concrete structures, thick walls. 
For best Wi-Fi performance, and to keep your network secure:  
•  Do not locate the modem router in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or 

excessive heat.

•  Keep the product away from strong electromagnetic radiation and devices that emit 

electromagnetic waves.

•  Place the modem router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices 

as well as to a power source.

•  Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not 

create a tripping hazard.

Tips:

 The modem router can be placed on a shelf or desktop.
