During setup, selecting a location for your network extender is crucial. It should ideally be placed both far enough away to cover a sizable region that the router doesn’t cover and close enough to your Wi-Fi router at the source to achieve the most consistent connection. For instance, if your router is located in your living room on the main floor of a two-story home, the best place for the extender would be to connect it into an outlet at the top of the stairs. It makes sense to use wireless signals for broadcasting in order to carry the signals to the second floor. To modify its advanced configurations, simply navigate to the Linksys extender login page.
