You could try putting the router upside-down on the ceiling, although that may result in overheating (it is often hotter at the ceiling and consumer devices are generally designed for passive cooling with air drawn in via side vents and out at the top). Since that model has detachable antennae, you have the option to move them to a place that gives better coverage, such as hanging them from the ceiling. -- George N. White III
