The need to know the exact position to connect a WiFi device is mainly for security and performance reasons.

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