# Where do I place my modem?

Placing your modem in the right spot matters 📡. The closer you can get your modem to a window 🪟 the better, but placing it **in** a window is ALWAYS best 🏅. This gives your modem the opportunity to connect to the nearest tower 🏙️. Ensure your modem is free of obstructions 🚫 and is in the highest possible floor in your home or business 🏠🏢.

If you have a Nomad Air, Raptor, or Ark, there is a special app 📲 you can download that specifically helps with placement.

Follow the instructions within the Inseego mobile app 📱 to connect to your modem and perform a location survey 🗺️ to identify the best possible location for your modem 📡.
