If you’re using a Wi-Fi extender for just one user (say, to get a better signal for a home office PC), you’ll want to place it approximately between that user and the Wi-Fi router. This outlet is in the middle of my halfway, between the router in the living room and the bedrooms. This will give it a fairly reliable, line-of-sight connection to the router, while rebroadcasting its wireless signal to the rooms on the second floor.
Ideally you want it close enough to your Wi-Fi router at the source to get the most stable connection, but far enough away that it will cover a large area that the router doesn’t cover.įor example: if you live in a two-story house and your router is on the main floor in the living room, an ideal spot for the extender is plugged into an outlet at the top of the stairs. Where to put your Wi-Fi extenderĬhoosing where to place your network extender is essential. But you’ll be paying for something that you don’t really need, since the extender won’t be able to speed up the connection from the router itself. You can buy an extender that’s newer and/or faster than your router, and it will work fine.
