II-5. Choosing the Best Location for Your Extender
The best location to place the Wi-Fi extender is one which is an open space,
roughly in the middle between your router and the Wi-Fi dead zone, and
where the Wi-Fi extender LED displays “Excellent” signal strength.
Please consider that Wi-Fi performance can be affected by environmental
factors such as the thickness and proximity of walls, or interference from other
devices such as microwaves or wireless telephones, and choose the location of
your extender accordingly.
