Is your 4/5G modem in the best spot it could be?
Best place to position a 4G or 5G modem is near a window where it can receive the strongest mobile signal, ideally facing the closest cell tower.
Higher is usually better, so placing it on a windowsill, shelf, or upstairs room can improve performance compared to sitting it low behind furniture.
Avoid putting the modem inside cupboards, behind TVs, or near thick concrete walls and metal surfaces, as these can block or weaken signal strength.
