Position the Booster

The best connection is established when there is a clear line of sight between the booster
and the router and between the booster and the computer or wireless device. If this straight
path is blocked by a thick wall or other materials, move the booster to a different location
half-way between the computer and the router.
If the Link Rate LED is green or amber and the PC to Booster LED is green, the booster is
working as expected.
To place the booster and apply power:

1 Place the booster an equal distance between your router and the wireless device
located outside the range of your router.
2 Plug the booster into an electrical outlet, and wait 1 minute until the Status LED
green.
• If you have to use a different location, move the booster closer to the device, but still
within the wireless range of the router.
• During installation, you can put the booster in the same room as the router. After you
complete installation, you can move the booster to a location that is halfway between
the router and your computer, and the booster is still displaying a green link rate.
To improve the Link Rate LED from red or amber to green:

1 If the Link Rate LED is red, move the booster closer to the router or to a different spot
where it provides a better line of sight.
