Instead make them perpendicular to one another position.
Wall mounted router antenna position.
The router s antenna position should point horizontally if your router is placed in the basement for some bizarre reason.
1 original placement antenna position 1.
Position the antenna upward for a better horizontal reach or sideways for vertical reach.
These antennas help direct the signal.
This will send the wifi signal vertically to the devices above the router.
The direction of radiation emitted will be perpendicular to the direction you point the antenna.
If you are pointing wifi antenna horizontally waves will be emitted vertically.
Raise your hand if you thought pointing both of a router s antennas straight up was better for wi fi reception.
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 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.
