The "complicated" study is jasoncole, Ph. D., Department of Physics, John Adams College, Imperial University, London, UK. In MATLAB, he uses the Helmholtz equation (helmholtzequation), which deals with spatiotemporal physical problems, to simulate the distribution of Wi-Fi routers in different locations in the room.
The center of the House works best.
If the router is placed against the wall, wireless signal will not only be blocked by walls, doors, but also in the corner of the formation of dead ends. In fact, no matter where, the blind spot is unavoidable, and the best place is--the house is in the middle! This seems to be the same as our usual feeling, but it's a very serious study by scientists, not just follow the feeling. Jasoncole admits he just did a theoretical simulation and didn't consider the actual environment-do you really want me to put the router on the living room floor or hang it on the ceiling?

The results of the study were followed by a number of netizens, and one of the interesting users commented: "So it's a good way to solve this problem by pinning a hook on the ceiling and then hanging the WiFi router on top."
