1.3. Position Your Wireless Range Extender
For best performance, follow rules below to place your wireless range extender:
The Best Way is Half-Way

wireless router and your Wi-Fi enabled devices. If that is not impossible, placing the
range extender closer to your wireless router will ensure better performance.

Choose a location that lights up the green signal strength LED AAA
Less Interference = More Stability
Try to position your range extender away from electrical devices that are potential
sources of interference, such as ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves, PCs,

refrigerators, the base of a cordless phone, or a 2.4 GHz cordless phone.
Less Obstacles = Better Performance

your wireless router. Open corridors and other spacious locations will typically
provide better conditions for performance than a crowded room.
