AirPort Extreme Placement Considerations

The following recommendations can help your AirPort Extreme achieve maximum
wireless range and optimal network coverage.
 Place your AirPort Extreme in an open area where there are few obstructions, such as

large pieces of furniture or walls. Try to place it away from metallic surfaces.

 If you place your AirPort Extreme behind furniture, keep at least an inch of space

between the AirPort Extreme and the edge of the furniture.
