Router placement

[zahinhasan]

Is it okay to put my router on top of a casing? Will the pc disturb the work of the wireless network when it's running?

wdym by on top of a casing? like on top if the pc case? that should be fine. but i would rather put it higher up in a central location around the room so everyone else gets a better signal too.

No, you can put it on top of the case.

won't the electro magnetic signals from inside the case interfere with the router wireless signals?

Electro magnetic? Its a PC, not a weapon of mass destruction...

theoretically, yes, all wires emit magnetic flux since there is current flowing through it, but that flux is so small that its not going to affect wireless signals enough to notice. there is also a metal case that mostly blocks those fields anyway so its fine. 

 

I would still put it higher up in the middle of the house so everyone can get a strong signal. you can always use ethernet to the computer if the location is close enough to the router
