2.0 Where to place the EM4595 repeater?
The best location to place the EM4595 is approximately half-way between your
wireless router and your wireless computer(s) which has/have the weakest wireless
reception. This way, the signal strength will be as good as possible. Refer to the
following images for an example:
Hint: Before placing the EM4595 on its destined location, the device needs to be
setup. Setting up the EM4595 wireless repeater can be done best, if the EM4595 is
located near your wireless router. After setting up the EM4595, you can place the
EM4595 at a location defined by using the signal indicator LEDs and the
recommended setup as described previously.
