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

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.
