Raise your hand if you thought pointing both of a router's antennas straight up was better for wi-fi reception. yeah, us too. according to a former apple wi-fi engineer, however, the best. News: while some routers ship with an internal antenna (or antennas), many routers ship with external ones that are designed to be positioned. in some cases the manual from the manufacturer. It depends on the location of the router in your house / flat . try to position them in a way that each antenna points to the direction from which you want to receive the signal. it is recommended that that two of your antennas directions hold a 90 degree angle. this enables devices with unusual antenna position to have a better signal quality..
Corroborated here: "the antennae that ship with most routers are called dipoles - they produce a circular 'omni' signal in the shape of a 3d doughnut, with the strongest segment of signal on the same plane as the router. this means is you're above or below the router, it's best to angle the antenna towards your position, so they're perpendicular.". The position of the wi-fi router can highly determine wireless internet coverage, signal strength and thus, its sheer speed. today we present some tips and tricks on that matter.. Three antennas, and two bands. if the router is advertised as dual band it means the antenna can transmit /receive both 2.4/5.0. based on your picture of netgear router: netgear recommends that the center antennas be vertical and that you aim the others outward at 45 degree angles..
