Please note that plasterboard, stone, metal and chipboard walls interfere with the signal and reduce its strength.

Wi-Fi is a high-speed wireless transmission technology using radio waves that radiate over distances usually ranging from 20 to 50 metres. The strength of the Wi-Fi signal received by your various devices depends on the layout of your home and the electrical appliances it contains.
We recommend that you place the NordnetBox high up in the room in which your main IT equipment is located.
Please note that plasterboard, stone, metal and chipboard walls interfere with the signal and reduce its strength.
Enclosing the NordnetBox inside a box or cabinet considerably reduces the Wi-Fi signal. It’s best to place it on top of your furniture or elsewhere in a free space (on a shelf or desk).
Not only should the ventilation grilles on the device not be blocked, but the Wi-Fi signal is also reduced by objects too close to it, which prevent it from transmitting.
Avoid simultaneously using devices that generate electromagnetic waves: Cordless phones, smartphones, tablets, wireless headsets, microwaves, wireless baby monitors, image transmitters, remote surveillance systems. These devices disrupt the signal and can cause connection breakages.
In the case of aquariums, you should be aware that:
Note that these remarks apply to any device using Wi-Fi, and not just to the NordnetBox. If you want to surf the Internet from your computer or mobile phone, you’ll need to keep them away from such disruptive equipment too.
