Find the coverage for the Extender
To assess extender coverage, place it in potential locations, noting signal strength on devices or using Wi-Fi analyzer apps. Observe LED indicators on the extender for signal quality. Perform speed tests in different areas with and without the extender to measure improvement. Ensure seamless device connectivity across coverage zones. Consider consulting extender documentation for placement guidelines. Advanced tools like signal coverage maps can visualize signal strength. Optimal placement balances proximity to the router for signal strength with distance to extend coverage effectively, mitigating dead zones and ensuring reliable Wi-Fi throughout the desired area.
