Where is the best place to put my Apex router?

The best place to put your router is in a central location with good “line of sight” visibility to the main areas of your home. If you need to place your router in a non-central location and find it does not reach all the areas in your home where you use the Internet, you can request a mesh unit to extend your signal.

Tip: Avoid placing your next to large appliances, behind TVs, or in "service closets" such as power distribution or fuse panels. While the Apex router is designed to provide extensive wireless range and coverage, these devices are sources of interference and may reduce your throughput or range.
