- Your WAP can change location in your house! Place your WAP with intention:
- Keep your WAP in the open and not hidden by plants or furniture. The fewer the obstructions, the better the signal.
- Placing your wireless router WAP higher in your room, where there are less obstructions, may improve performance.
- Your WAP does not need to be in the center of your house. Depending on your home's construction material, the WAP will have varying difficulty penetrating your walls.
- Remember:
- The 5Ghz network will give you better speeds (bandwidth) but cannot penetrate walls as well as the 2.4Ghz channel.
- The 2.4Ghz network will have better range and therefore better reliability than the 5Ghz channel but will have lower speeds (bandwidth).
- While working from home, you may find benefit in moving your WAP closer to your working space and sacrificing some connection strength in other parts of your house.
- While working closer to your wireless router will give you better performance and reliability, try to stay at least a few feet away.
