If you are pointing wifi antenna horizontally waves will be emitted vertically.
Wall mounted router antenna position.
Raise your hand if you thought pointing both of a router s antennas straight up was better for wi fi reception.
Instead make them perpendicular to one another position.
These antennas help direct the signal.
According to a former apple wi fi engineer however the best.
If you have an upstairs downstairs you could set one antenna to point vertically emitting the signal horizontally.
That means if your wifi router antenna position is vertical it will emit radiation in a horizontal plane.
This will send the wifi signal vertically to the devices above the router.
Mounting the router to a wall or setting it on a high shelf can give you a better signal especially if you live in a two story house and want a good connection on both floors.
If there are two or more antennas on your router don t position them all in the same direction.
The direction of radiation emitted will be perpendicular to the direction you point the antenna.
