Gigaclear Linksys router. Direction strength question.

[Brian Lacey]

This is possibly a really daft question but does it matter which way a Gigaclear Linksys router model no' WHWO3V2 is facing ?
Does the unit send out a signal 360 degrees all round or does it have a more directional face to it ?
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
Brian.

Typically the signal won't be uniform. If you're lucky, the signal strength vs orientation information will be findable with a google, or possibly in the instruction manual.

Remember it is a two way conversation. The client has to hear the AP, but the AP also has to hear the client, otherwise no traffic will flow.
