Where should I position my 4G or 5G router?

Where you place your router has a direct impact on your signal strength and connection speed. Follow the guidance below to find the best position in your premises.

How to Find the Best Position

  • Place your router near a window — try a few different windowsills to find which direction gives you the strongest signal.
  • Check the signal lights on the front of your router. The more lights showing, the stronger the signal.
  • Keep the router away from obstacles such as walls, doors, refrigerators, and fish tanks — these can all reduce your signal strength.
  • If you need to extend coverage across a larger premises, consider connecting Wi-Fi boosters to create a mesh Wi-Fi network.
