This guide explains the optimal placement of your 5G router to ensure the best possible speed and signal strength.

Key considerations for placement

1. Central location in your home

To ensure even distribution of the signal, position the router as centrally as possible within your home.

2. Away from interference

Place your router away from electronic devices that may interfere with the signal, such as:

• Microwaves
• Smart TVs
• Cordless phones

3. Higher placement

Position the router higher up, such as on top of a cabinet or shelves, to enhance signal strength and reduce obstacles.

4. Avoid obstacles

Avoid placing the router near large metal objects or thick walls that could reduce signal strength.

5. Near a window

If possible, place your router near a window facing towards Nova’s cell towers to maximize signal strength and speed.
