Where you place your Origin Home Gateway will have an impact on its overall performance.


As a general rule, it's better to place it out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry and well-ventilated area (not in damp areas like kitchens and laundries).

Placing it away from the following can also help:

  • microwaves

  • electrical or radio signals (including baby monitors)

  • bodies of water, including fish tanks

  • dense objects, including concrete walls
