Automated wireless router positioning system

A wireless router device, comprising:

• a slidable mechanism configured to connect to a linear rail mounted on a surface in a premises;
• and
• a wireless router configured to be operationally connected to the slidable mechanism, the wireless router configured to:
• collect signal connectivity data from connected devices starting at one point on the linear rail upon an occurrence of a defined event;
• collect further signal connectivity data from connected devices as the slidable mechanism incrementally moves over other points on the linear rail;
• and
• locate the slidable mechanism to an optimal position on the linear rail based on the signal connectivity data and the further signal connectivity data.

A method for automated wireless router positioning, the method comprising:

• collecting, by a wireless router from connected devices, signal connectivity data starting at one point on a linear rail upon an occurrence of a defined event;
• collecting, by the wireless router from the connected devices, further signal connectivity data as a slidable mechanism connected to the wireless router incrementally moves across other points on the linear rail;
• and
• locating, by the wireless router, the slidable mechanism at an optimal position on the linear rail based on the signal connectivity data and the further signal connectivity data.
