Find the Best Location
If the WiFi signal is weak, the first time you join the extender network, the Router LED or Device LED is
amber or red. If this happens, adjust the position of the extender:
•
If the Router LED is amber or red, move the extender closer to the router.
•
If the Device LED is amber or red, move the computer or mobile device closer to the extender.
