  • Security: Knowing the exact position ensures that only authorized devices can connect to the network. This helps prevent unauthorized access and potential intrusions
  • Performance: The exact position optimizes the connection by reducing interference and ensuring better signal quality. WiFi devices must be within range of the router for stable and fast connection
  • Network configuration: Some devices require initial configuration that includes checking their location to ensure they are in the network coverage area
