Where to place your D60 5G Router

  • Find a Central Location
    • Central Placement: Place your router in a central location within your home. This ensures that the signal reaches all areas more evenly.

  • Avoid Corners and Edges: Avoid placing the router at the edges of your home or in a corner, as this can lead to poor signal strength in distant areas.

  • Elevate the Router:
    • Height Matters: Position the router on a higher shelf or mount it on a wall to improve signal coverage. Elevation helps in minimizing obstructions and spreading the signal more effectively .

  • Avoid Obstructions:
    • Clear Path: Ensure there are no large objects, walls, or appliances blocking the signal path. Metal objects, mirrors, and thick walls can significantly weaken the Wi-Fi signal.
    • Minimal Furniture: Keep the area around the router free from heavy furniture and electronic devices that might cause interference.

  • Keep Away from Interference:
    • Electronic Devices: Place the router away from other electronic devices like microwaves, cordless phones, baby monitors, and Bluetooth devices. These can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.
    • Avoid Kitchens: Avoid placing the router in or near the kitchen, as metal appliances and water pipes can disrupt the signal.

These steps work well for placing a Wi-Fi Router, but they also help with placing the xIQ D60 for the optimal 5G connection as well.
Another way to ensure the best possible placement is to position your xIQ D60 towards the nearest cell tower to your home.
