How far away should a router be?
I feel best with a minimum of 20 feet between me and a router. If you have young children, best to keep them 30 or 40 feet away. If we can create a safe distance from our WiFi routers with correct placement in our living space, we are less likely to have physical impacts from the non-ionizing radiation.
Does it matter how far your router is from your modem?
For your modem or router, It doesn’t matter where you placed them as long as your ISP internet connectivity wire is long enough to reach them or your device on which you will use internet. Indoor Modem and Routers comes with Omni-directional Antenna’s Which works in 360 Degree.
Does location of router matter?
Routers send the signal out in all directions, so if it’s left in the corner of your home, a significant percentage of your wireless coverage is being sent outside your home. It’s best to move the router to a central location to optimize the signal. But the improved wireless coverage will be worth it.
How far can a WiFi router reach?
A general rule of thumb in home networking says that Wi-Fi routers operating on the traditional 2.4 GHz band reach up to 150 feet (46 m) indoors and 300 feet (92 m) outdoors. Older 802.11a routers that ran on 5 GHz bands reached approximately one-third of these distances.
Is it bad to sit near WiFi router?
It is safe to sleep next to a wireless router as it produces radio waves that, unlike X-rays or gamma rays, do not break chemical bonds or cause ionisation in humans. These waves also deteriorate rapidly, losing their strength as they travel away from the router.
What is the best wireless router speed?
The latest network standard is 802.11ac, which has a theoretical maximum speed of 1.3Gbps. However, you’ll still find some wireless routers from the 802.11n network standard, with a theoretical maximum speed of 600 Mbps.

How do I test my wireless speed?
Click “Begin Test” to ping the nearest server and test your download and upload rates. These tests work by transmitting a signal from your network to the server and measuring the response’s latency, similar to the way a radio ping test measures the latency of a signal’s bounce off a landmark or building.
