Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal being sent or received by your router. Most typically, these are mobile phones, fax machines, cordless phones, microwaves and any radio transmitting devices such as baby monitors. Anything being transmitted using Bluetooth is also likely to cause interference.
If you think you are experiencing interference, check to see if your router is close to any of the devices mentioned above, and if so, move either your router or the device causing interference.
For maximum range, the antenna of your router should always be in an upright position and is in line of sight with your wireless adapter.
Do not place the router close to large amounts of water e.g. near a fish tank or radiator, as water can disrupt the radio signals being sent and received.
Wireless signals can be limited by concrete walls although not usually limited by softwood walls.
Can reflect the wireless signal and reduce the range of the signal for more information download the wireless PDF above.
