Want smart security at home? You may need various products, such as a security camera, an alarm system, and smart lighting. Al of these products are connected to your WiFi network. That means that you need a good signal and fast connection everywhere. There are various factors that affect your WiFi network, such as the type of house and material of the walls.

Router location

Where should you place the router?

Place your router in an unobstructed location. The location of your router is important to ensure a good WiFi connection. Routers behind a door, next to the fuse box, or in a corner behind furniture work a lot less well than routers in an unobstructed environment. A router in an unobstructed location doesn't have any interferences, which ensures the best WiFi signal.

Multi-room WiFi

There are different types of routers. If you want a router that's very stable, choose multi-room WiFi. Depending on the size of your house, choose 2, 3, or 4 stations. Place the routers in different rooms for an optimal WiFi signal. The routers are connected to each other wirelessly, so you don't have to run any cables and the WiFi signal is distributed evenly.
