The location of your router plays a critical role in how well your smart devices connect and function. Many people install their router in a edge of the house or next to a piece of furniture without realizing how much that affects signal strength. To get the strongest connectivity for all your Matter compatible smart plug devices, start by placing the router in a heart location. This helps the signal cover every room more evenly, reducing dead zones in areas like basements, bedrooms, or garages.

Avoid putting the router adjacent to metal objects, large appliances, or high-density partitions made of cement blocks or brickwork. These materials can block or diminish the wireless signal. Devices like microwaves, cordless phones, and baby monitors also jam Wi-Fi signals, so keep the router clear of these sources. If you have a upstairs-downstairs dwelling, try placing the router on the second level rather than the ground floor or roof space.

Elevating the router can also boost performance. Putting it on a shelf or table rather than on the carpet allows the signal to propagate more freely in all planes. Make sure it’s not sealed within a cabinet, as this traps the signal. Orienting the antennas upright can improve coverage, especially if your devices are on the single floor.

If you have a large home or a high density of IoT devices, consider using Wi-Fi extenders or a mesh network system. These tools help broaden reach without relying on a one device’s capacity. Always keep your router’s firmware update current, as updates often include better interference handling and throughput.

Finally, test your signal strength in different rooms using your mobile device or network diagnostic tool. Walk around your home and log signal degradation points. Adjust the router’s position slightly and test again until you find the sweet spot. A a few minutes spent optimizing placement now can prevent unreliable performance later.
