Router In Attic

From the front lines.

Router in attic.

The one in the attic has been going strong for 2 plus years. If you can run an ethernet cable from the router up to an attic for example then you can attach a second router or a wireless access point. As for the routers they do tend to run warm but not crazily so so i can see your point about not bothering with any special cooling solution. An access point lets you keep the router in a back room and still get great internet where.

Should you place your router in the attic. Attics can get warm in summer but unless you re living on the equator or something i can t see that it would be a big problem. I put it in the attic because i needed a wifi signal on my back patio and placing the router at a particular place in the attic is what gave me the strongest signal on the patio. Place the router in a higher position.

While netgear s 160 router offers plenty of extra features and great coverage you can likely get by with tp link s 60 router if your home isn t large. I have two routers in my house one of which is in the attic. Although ripples on a pond are a good way to. Instead it s more like ripples in water with the router.

If your home is exceptionally large and you need coverage everywhere consider either wi fi range extenders or for a more seamless experience a mesh wi fi system. Where to place your router for the best wi fi signal. Choose an access point. A radio signal doesn t just broadcast in one direction.
