When it comes to setting up your modem for optimal performance, placement plays a crucial role. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind:


  1. Avoid Signal Interference: Appliances like microwaves and cordless phones can emit signals that interfere with your modem's signal. To minimize interference, avoid placing your modem near such devices, particularly in the kitchen area.

  2. Ideal Placement: For the best signal quality, consider placing your modem near a window or on the edge of your house closest to the cell tower. This location can help ensure a strong and stable connection to the network.

  3. Experiment with Different Spots: Don't hesitate to try out different locations within your home to find the optimal placement for your modem. You can conduct speed tests using tools like netallover.speedtestcustom.com to compare signal strength and speed performance in various spots.

  4. Ensure Good Wi-Fi Coverage: In addition to modem placement, it's essential to ensure that your household devices are within good Wi-Fi range. Devices located too far away or obstructed by walls may experience slower connection speeds. Consider referring to our article on choosing between 2G or 5G Wi-Fi networks for further insights into optimizing Wi-Fi coverage.
