Where should I place the router?

Where you place your router affects your signal strength.

  • Villas: Place it near a window in an open area.
  •  Apartments: Try placing your router near a window in an open space. If the speed is still low, move it closer to your apartment door to help it connect to the indoor antenna. This is especially helpful if you’re above the 10th floor, as the indoor antenna is usually located in the corridor on your floor.

Keep it elevated, not inside cabinets, and away from thick walls or metal objects.

Last thing — make sure you’re using your Home Internet in the same spot you registered it. Your Home Internet is restricted to your home location, so this really matters.

Want to get it just right? If you are using Virgin Mobile’s Huawei router it is even easier for you. Go to the Huawei AI Life App, tap “Find Optimal Location,” and click Start. Wait 30 seconds for the test result, then score your signal quality and update the location info. Move the router to another location, repeat the process until you find the best possible score on the app.
