It's important to consider router location when installing a wireless home network to ensure good signal range, Verizon cautioned.
Distance, physical barriers and interference can affect Wi-Fi quality. Therefore, placing the router in a strategic location is crucial to avoid connection limitations.
Also, you need to ensure that the router is not placed in a location where hot air is trapped, as this can result in overheating and even pose a fire hazard.
Keeping the router in a position that allows for proper heat dissipation is critical to its proper functioning.
To ensure optimal performance from your router, it is recommended to place it at least 3 meters away from other Wi-Fi networks.
This also applies to transmitting devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors and microwaves, which can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.
That is, in general, it is important to avoid placing the router near large metal objects, humidity, excessive dust, extreme cold or heat sources. These elements can negatively affect the performance and lifespan of the router.
To get the best performance from your router, it's advisable to position it as close to the center of your home network's coverage area as possible, as noted by Verizon.
Also, it's ideal to minimize the number of walls and ceilings between the router and the other devices on your network to ensure a stronger and more stable connection.
