How to Properly Position Your Access Point for Range

 WiFi signals don't travel through walls like magic—they get blocked.

• The Line-of-Sight Rule: Place your AP in a central, elevated position.

• Avoid Obstacles: Keep away from large metal objects, mirrors, and thick masonry.

• Coverage Planning: If you have a large home, one router is rarely enough; consider a wired backhaul to a second access point.

• Conclusion: Proper placement can increase your effective range by up to 40% without buying extra equipment.
