Position Your Router

The router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating range of

your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection

can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the

thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For

best results, place your router:

• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and

preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.

• So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.

• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings

between the router and your other devices to a minimum.

• Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling

fans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, or the base of a cordless phone or

2.4

GHz cordless phone.

• Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and

concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

Internet port Ethernet port for connecting the router to a cable broadband modem or DSL

broadband modem. The Internet port is also referred to as the WAN port.

AC power connector AC power connector to connect the power adapter to the router.

Power On/Off button Turns the router on or off.
