Can someone tell me:
Where does the signal come from to get up their?
Is the kitchen a good spot for WiFi?
We have Dish Networks for TV so we do not need a line in rooms for Internet, but do need the router someplace.
I would be cautious about putting a router/modem above the kitchen cabinets. It is a good place for a wifi router, being high up BUT there are occasions when you may need to power it off and then on again. If the power outlet above the cabinets are switched then that solves that issue. Also, if you go that route, take a photo of all of the tech data on the router/modem (username/password/address) in case you need it. You want to avoid having to clime up.
