Ideal Placement:

  • Place the hub in an elevated position, on a table or shelf.
  • Maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm from the router to reduce signal interference.

Avoid:

  • Placing the hub on the floor, inside cupboards, or behind large electronics.
  • Crowded areas with multiple electrical devices that may cause interference.

Central Location:

  • Position the hub centrally in your home to ensure strong, even coverage to all Hive devices.

Additional Tips:

  • Mid-level height (e.g., on a table or shelf) is ideal.
  • Keep the hub away from large electronics and other wireless devices to avoid signal disruption.
  • Maintain at least 50 cm distance from your router to prevent interference.

General Best Practices for All Hubs

  • Height Matters: Place at mid-level height, such as on a table or shelf.
  • Distance from Router: Keep at least 50 cm away from the router to prevent interference.
  • Clear Space: Ensure the area around the hub is free of other wireless and other electronics.
