How to hide a router above the door. Go around obstacles

Horror above the door

Most often, the router can be found in the hallway, above the front door. This is determined by the connection. the wire is started through the entrance and the router spreads the signal by the apartment.

From a technical point of view, everything is fine, but the aesthetic side suffers: equipment and wires spoil the type of interior.

A router is needed in a modern house, but this does not mean that there is no solution how to hide it and place it beautifully. Next, I will share a few such ways.

Place in the closet

Another solution is to install a router in the closet of the hallway. This option is convenient for its simplicity and easy access to equipment.

Where to hide the router so that it does not spoil the interior

In the closet you can hide the wires and install an electric outlet for connecting a router.

ideas for an electric shield that will justify its presence in the interior

Nastya, we are faced with a problem, possibly insignificant, but still unpleasant. The repair is finished, a new electric shield appeared in the corridor. The husband bought boxing for him in Leroy Merlin and considers him a wonderful. But in my opinion, he looks terrible! Does not fit into the interior, distracts from the idea, catches his eye with his official forms. Whether it is possible to somehow decorate it?” Elena

Designer Anastasia Proklova answers your questions

Elena, thanks for the question! Yes, you certainly may. I completely agree with you, boxing boxes for an electric shield in its technogenic version does not look at all attractive at all. And in this form it is not intended for external use.

The most correct solution to move the technical device to the wall cabinet. In this case, no decoration is required. The shield in unsightly boxing is inside the cabinet, if necessary, you open the sash and take off the meter readings. This is an ideal. But far from always this option is possible. If only because not all hallways can accommodate cabinets. Sometimes these are just open hangers. And the counter in the hallway is almost a pattern. In this case, boxing in the interior must be entered. I will try to collect all possible decoration options from which you can choose what is suitable for your home.

Boxing designer doors

For both hidden and open installation systems, you can use special shields. Specifically, those in the photo. originally from Greece, meet all the requirements of the standards, the market has an assortment line. they can be bought in any design, choosing the corresponding shade of the tree. They look strictly and solid in the corresponding interior.

Perhaps for your interior this will be the most affordable and stylish acquisition, especially since the decision to “drown” the counter in the wall, you have already implemented. But the hallway in your apartment is small. Think about the next option.

The mirror in the hallway is necessary. There is an option to order a mirror door on the hinges framed by a wood.fiber plate of panels, for example, the desired color.

No one will ever guess what is hidden behind the mirror, which tightly adjacent to the wall.

Sometimes the interior requires some special solution. Then you might think about such a decorative part as a door for electrical panel.

Depending on the size of the shield, such doors can be selected in stores or make to order. Good idea to use facades for kitchens. Large construction stores have a huge selection.

Decorative boxes with AliExpress

On your beloved by many Chinese portal you can sometimes find interesting options. The downside is that some of them are completely expensive, and delivery, as you know, is not at all instant.

It is easy to make such a box on your own if you are satisfied with the country style.

Decoration for a shelf or cabinet

At the stage of creating a project, I often offer the customer options for decorating technical objects for functionality. For example, it can be furniture. It is made to order, which is called “in place”.

In this case, you need to understand in advance what functionality is expected from this space and select or order furniture for this idea. Then you can decorate the shield under the cabinet or shelves, and have a complete guarantee that the shield will not spoil the interior.

But since the readings are not removed every day, the option with a traditional mount will not cause strong inconvenience.

How easy it is to hang a router on a wall without drilling

Without a Wi-Fi Rooter, there is now almost a single house or apartment. And what only they say about this! There are versions that radiation is catastrophically harmful to health, that the signal can be used to penetrate your personal data and so on. In addition, it seems that your router is like that of a neighbor, and the signal is much weaker, what’s the matter? Maybe true. steal? Let’s figure out the installation issues of this device and the methods of the most effective and painless fastening for your mounting interior.

Where to place a router

There are obstacles for a Wi-Fi signal, this is a fact. That is, the unsuccessful location of the device can directly affect the quality and speed of work on the Internet. So, you need to find a place where the signal could freely reach you like a user.

The technical characteristics must be discussed separately. Everything is clear here: the router must correspond to the features of your connection and have maximum data for signal transmission. But the interference is just what you should pay special attention to.

Which can prevent the passage of a Wi-Fi signal? It can be walls, especially bearing, ceilings and floors, if there is a metallic reinforcement, even carpets on the walls and ficuses in the tub can interfere with the passage of radio waves.

But you can put on the table and hang on the wall?

All routers have small legs that do not allow tight contact of ventilation holes with the surface. So you can simply put them on a table or hinged shelf or attach to the wall. In any case, the presence of a gap for ventilation will be ensured.

It is harmful or not to put a router in a living room

There is no unequivocal answer to this question. Disputes are underway, and clinical studies that would confirm or refute the harm of Wi-Fi for humans, there is no. What to do in such a situation?

As they say, God takes care of the aged, so it makes sense to put the source of the signal in the non.residential room, at least not in the one where you spend most of your time.

Where to put a router if there is a raccoon in the house

Any pets are a potential danger to your devices. Cats, dogs, birds, rabbits and other pets can be interested in the device and gnaw a wire or drop it to the floor.

So devices such as a router are better to put in an inaccessible place for living creatures. The location on the wall is higher. the most successful option.

How reliably to hang a router so as not to drill the wall

Drilling is not always possible, for example. you have a thin plasterboard partition. Or you just have not yet decided completely on the location of the device. How to do it in this case? Many will advise you to just buy bilateral tape. But do not rush to do it. The router is still an electrical appliance, and the minimum heating is present in it, so that the adhesive layer of bilateral tape from heat can soften, and your router will slap on the floor, and this is extremely undesirable.

There is a simple and elegant output for which you need an adhesive gun and ordinary Velcro that is used for clothes.

And if you still decide to hang a router stationary, then this is a way that will help not to make a mistake with the holes for drilling:

How to hide a router and counters in the hallway

For a long time I did not think about this problem. Because I didn’t have it. The counter lived at the site in the entrance, like a guard dog in Konura, and in childhood, I remember, I was surprised when I found out that it was different otherwise. And having learned, I was glad that in our apartment there is no such happiness: it is very much, it was happiness, it looked ugly and official.

Now a lot of water has flowed, there are more meters, and such a good of civilization as a router appeared. And with the problem, how good it is to hide from sight, almost all of.

And some understand her too literally. Mounters hide, for example, in a cabinet. Now tell me, it is very convenient for you to climb there with a flashlight every time you need to see something or check? Beauty, of course, requires victims, but in some cases they can be avoided.

Counters or router can be settled in your own locker. Small, neat, compact, with a beautiful door. Such doors are on sale, and you can look for an option that will approach your interior.

And if nothing suitable was found? Then you can make a door to order or take the finished and use it as a stand for.

And here it opens the scope for imagination. For whatever.

Mirror. His style will depend on the frame that you will choose. It all depends on your interior. The mirror in the hallway needs in any way, so why not at the same time do not serve you another service, blocking the electricity meter or router? You can fix it as you like, some even bilateral tape take it. But we advise you to choose the most reliable devices. If you are not sure of your own skills, it is better to invite the master for such work.

Another great option is the picture. True, here you will have to take into account the lighting in the hallway. The paintings are suitable not only to close the holes in the wallpaper, they want to admire them.

You can choose a series of paintings. One will close one counter, the other-the third will hide the router, the fourth will hang just like that, and the guests are admired by a stylish composition, and it would not occur to anyone that she has some kind of technical purpose.

And where do you keep the keys? In a saucer on the nightstand? Or they are so in the keyhole and live? Why not get a keychain? It is easy to combine with a cabinet for a counter or router. Klynes are enough for sale, you can choose the finished to your liking. Or purchase a workpiece and arrange it, as the soul wishes.

And if the reluctance to occupy the hallway with paintings or change the already favorite mirror, then you can simply glue the cabinets with the same wallpaper as on the wall. Surely you have any scraps after repair. Then no meters will definitely call your eyes.

How to decorate a router above the front door

They wanted to in the pantry, but as a result lies in a box under the TV. A box with a matte glass, and the router is not visible and the TV prefix of norms reacts to the remote control.

I hang over the pantry and the front door, in the future I will buy a box and hide. All wires were drawn in the walls under the ceiling and dumplings were displayed under TV). I really like the shield at the entrance there, and if something with the network is so quickly done and without climbing somewhere.

Where to attach a router?

It is recommended to place a router on a table, a cabinet, shelf, a low closet or hang on a wall at a height of about 1 to 2 meters. This arrangement of equipment will provide the best coating with Wi-Fi signal.

Do not install a router close to other electrical appliances. Such as: radiotelephones, microwaves, TVs, etc. D. Since Wi-Fi network works at 2.4 GHZ, or 5 GHZ.

enemies Wi-Fi

Routers are not friends with everything that can absorb and reflect the signal.

In fact, all objects absorb or reflect it. But some worsen the signal especially strongly. The main enemies of the routers:

• Carrying walls. These are walls of high stiffness. Those in which you do not score a nail and hang a picture on a self.tapping screw. They are strengthened by reinforcement and have a decent thickness. Wi-Fi signal, passing through the supporting walls, weakens significantly. The fewer there are in his way, the better. For example, it will be correct to place routers in the hallway of the apartment, and not in the vestibule behind the carrier wall.
• Tile. Tile. powerful signal reflector. Do not place the transmitting device behind the plumbing room.
• Metal. The signal will be difficult to pass through metal surfaces. For example, a refrigerator. It is not recommended to use metal mounts and shields for routers.
• Mirror. Similarly to the metal, reflects the signal and the mirror. It is better not to put the device before or after it. On the side. you can.
• Toning. Tinted glass is also a serious obstacle to the router. The usual glass does not create such interference.
• Wireless headphones, column, mouse, keyboard and other Bluetooth devices. All of them work at a frequency of 2.4 Hz and create interference for the router.
• Cabinets and niches. In closed cabinets and cavities, the ventilation of the device is difficult. From this, it quickly overheats and freezes.
• Aquarium with fish. Water collapse wi-fi. If you like fish and stable Internet is the same, it is better to put the aquarium in the far room, and the router is closer to the center of the apartment.

The choice of place for the router is of great importance, first of all, for owners of large houses. In ordinary apartments, it is enough to put a router in the corridor or central room. I like the option on the ceiling or in the shield on the wall most of all. Reliable, neatly and stylish.

Dmitriy Alliur

I decided to make a router so fashionable over the front door, provided a socket.Now I thought. What the hell will the device hang there and have fun flash bulbs? Why is this imitation of the submarine where the pressure gauges hang in the most unexpected places?

I felt a box for a desse, suitable size. Well, she is tin, painted. Closes tightly. The question may be stupid, but whether the signal is locked in this iron thing will weaken?

In the pictures, such beautiful shields with facade dark tinted plexiglass. Nothing of the kind is sold. Or sold, but built.in. Stroke a niche of this size in a monolith, I am his mother fucking.

Maybe there is an obvious solution hidden by my understanding?

Timofei Stepanych was a founded man. At the age of 58, he had a peer woman, in everyday language called an old woman, a thirty.seven.year.old daughter and the remaining girl, Khrushchev’s “kopeck piece” on the first floor from the plant (stood half.life), six hundredths in the suburbs (another half.life.

In the tin nie.There are plastic with tinted glass, not only built.in, all sorts.Or stupidly buy a router is more likely, and the bulbs like something like a black nail polish carefully, so that the illumination is not so bright.

my router is dusting under the table. Without boxes. It is inconvenient, but I didn’t even think that it can be children somewhere else 🙂

I have a router stands on a closet, in the hallway, Vituha comes there accordingly. The only inconvenience, if it hangs and needs to be overloaded by nutrition, you have to drag a stool.

And the religion does not allow to seal bulbs with a piece of black island? Hide Wi-Fi router in an iron box. This is not only to lose in the signal, but also to potentially get overheating of the iron.

In the closet in the hallway. And the network disk is there.During the repair there, the entire LVS was prudently deduced and a 220V socket was installed

These cabinets are terrible. Well, count, his depth is about 40 centimeters.1) You can actually hide at least where, food can be thrown by a twisted pair. But still not worth it in the iron cabinet. At the same time, one door will not create a strong obstacle (from experience). 2) next to the router, it is worth providing a room for the subsequent installation of all sorts of Uber-devices like Nat or at least an external screw.3) Still, the sixth category must be held to TV, the projector and the working area. Well, then a separate gigabit hub stick. Better to do it now. For example, I have a wire from the internal grid-a movie from Sinoloji Watch, plus from the outer grid IP-television receiver. You should not hope for a wyfi much, the ether is fucked up.

Cool

Another option of wall mounting, which will appeal to those who have little space for a locker. A can be made of wood, plastic or even metal. as you want. You can order an original model that you design yourself. For example, with engraving or individual sizes.

The advantage of such an accessory is that the shade itself can be selected specifically for your interior.

Designer model

Perhaps the most eccentric way to fit the router into the overall design of the house is to purchase a designer, because in the market of such goods you can find very interesting models. Such a gadget, even outwardly, does not at all resemble the gadget familiar to all of us, but looks like some kind of art object or decor element rather.

As a matter of fact, entering such a router into the interior is incredibly easy: we buy, install. and ready. True, there is a small minus. This way to hide the gadget is very expensive, but the fastest and most cool.

Where to hide the router so that it does not spoil the interior

During the repair, everyone tries to make the interior at home cozy and beautiful, but not everyone succeeds. For example, you can forget about the router and as a result it will appear in the most noticeable place and spoil the interior.

The models of the routers themselves are pretty, but the wires that go to him always look bad.

Horror above the door

Most often, the router can be found in the hallway, above the front door. This is due to the connection. The wire is turned through the entrance and the router spreads the signal by the apartment.

From a technical point of view, everything is fine, but the aesthetic side suffers: equipment and wires spoil the type of interior.

A router is needed in a modern house, but this does not mean that there is no solution how to hide it and place it beautifully. Next, I will share a few such ways.

Hide in a box

The simplest solution to use a special box for the router. It will fit both equipment and wires.

Did not provide sockets under the sink

It turns out that they are very needed here

Three years ago I would laugh if they told me that the sink needs outlets. Now I have another opinion. Firstly, they will come in handy for connecting water purification systems-the same reverse osmosis can be with an electric pump that will need to be powered. Secondly, sockets will be needed for shredions of waste, which I have been staring more and more recently. Thirdly, under the sink you can install a compact external dishwasher, which, by the way, did not provide for stupidity in his kitchen. Of course, this is not the most open place for views to throw a carrier, but it would be much more pleasant to think about it at the repair stage.

Did not bring some outlets to the shield

Now they will only have to do smart

In the corner near each window, I have one outlet. They are needed here in order to decorate the apartment with garlands-stamps on the eve of the New Year. We love this holiday very much, therefore, it is proud that it has provided such a thing (and not one) in its apartment. Nevertheless, I did not think that the notorious garlands would have to somehow turn off at night. Now for this you have to climb into a chair and pull out forks from sockets. But it was simply possible to bring separate togglers to the shield for specifically these outlets. I have similar for air conditioners, but I completely forgot about the garlands. The only way out is on the eve of the next holidays to finally get smart sockets. But for three years before that, hands still do not reach.
