The three golden rules of router placement

The three golden rules of router placement

Wi-Fi signals emanate in a circle, outwards from the router (omni-directionally) — therefore, for maximum Wi-Fi coverage inside the house, you need to place the router as close to the centre of the house as possible. Wi-Fi signals tend to travel down rather than up, so you can maximize coverage inside the house by placing it on a higher location like on top of a cupboard or on a ledge.

Two things eat up wireless signals consistently: Thick walls & interference from other devices like cordless phones, microwave ovens and wireless headphones. Try and avoid thick walls between the router and your most common point of use and place the router at least 6 feet away from other equipment that could cause interference.
