Extending Wireless LAN Range
Overview
In large apartments or houses the wireless LAN radio signal does not
always reach every corner. However, you can generally extend the
range of your wireless network by placing your FRITZ!Box at a better
location. If this is not sufficient, you can improve the range of the radio
signal with peripheral equipment like wireless repeaters.
Measures to Improve Wireless Coverage
The following conditions favor the extension of your FRITZ!Box's wire
less radio signal:
•
The FRITZ!Box is positioned in a central location.
•
The FRITZ!Box is placed in a raised position.
•
The FRITZ!Box is unobstructed, meaning that it is not inside a cab
inet or behind another object.
•
Structural circumstances are accounted for, such as thick con
crete walls or ceilings.
•
Sources of interference in the vicinity of your wireless radio net
work (for instance, microwaves, refrigerator or baby monitor)
have been eliminated.
•
The FRITZ!Box uses frequency ranges that are used by as few oth
er devices as possible (can be checked under “Wireless / Radio
Channel”).
Extending the Wireless Radio Network
If the FRITZ!Box is placed in a favorable location, but the radio signal
still does not reach all of your rooms, then you can extend the range of
the radio signal with a wireless repeater. You can also deploy a second
FRITZ!Box as a wireless repeater.
