Should I test different placements?

Q: Should I test different placements?

Yes. The router's placement can affect both signal strength and speed , especially in a motorhome, caravan or in buildings with a lot of metal. Try placing the router: near a window higher up on different sides of the motorhome or caravan a little away from larger metal parts a little away from other electronic devices Compare with a speed test It is best to run a speed test in each position and compare download, upload and ping. That way you can easily see where the router has the best connection. Remember that even a small change in placement sometimes makes a big difference, because the router may get better contact with the mobile network from another part of the vehicle.
