Where is the best place to position my Link Plus Hub?

Correct placement of your Lightwave Link Plus Hub is crucial for ensuring strong and reliable communication with your Lightwave devices throughout your home.

Recommended Placement: We strongly recommend that you place the Hub as high as possible within your property. Radio frequency signals emitted by the Hub travel best downward rather than horizontally or upward. With this in mind, the following areas are ideal:

• First-floor landing: This is often the most effective position in a two-story house, allowing the signal to reach devices upstairs and downstairs.

• Loft or attic: If easily accessible and practical, placing the Hub in the loft provides excellent coverage across multiple floors.

Why Height Matters: Radio waves used by the Link Plus Hub behave similarly to light – they travel better in a direct line and are less effective through dense materials like thick walls, metal structures, or heavy insulation. Placing the Hub higher up reduces obstacles and maximizes coverage.

Additional Tips for Placement:

• Avoid obstructions: Keep the Hub away from metal objects such as (comms racks & comms cupboards), large electrical appliances, and thick walls, as these can interfere with the signal.

• Central location: If possible, place the Hub roughly in the centre of your home for balanced coverage.

• Stable surface: Position the Hub on a solid, stable surface to prevent movement and disruption to signal stability.

Common Areas to Avoid:

• Behind TVs, near microwaves, or large metal appliances

• Inside cupboards or enclosed shelving (Especially metal comms racks/cupbaords)

• In basements or low-lying areas
