RAX200/AX12 Antenna Direction

I have just installed my new router in the basement by mounting it to the wall.  However, I am wondering if I would get better coverage by putting it flat on a small shelf.  Any suggestions if that will make a difference?  Just wondering if the antenna "wings" broadcast the signal in a particular pattern or direction.

  • it shouldn't matter much. It should be omnidirectional so broadcasting in all directions. 

    If possible,you'd be better off to focus on centrally locating it in the home for coverage because its omnidirectional.
