Recommended Location 

The extender needs to receive a good Wi-Fi Signal in order to repeat the Wi-Fi signal and provide Wi-Fi coverage for your dead zone. The best location for your extendr is roughly in the middle between your existing wireless router and the dead zone. It is recommended that your extender can receive at least 60% signal strength from your existing Wi-Fi Router.
