The Range Extender is equipped with a Signal Strength LED on
top of the device to help you find the most optimal location. It
may take 1-3 minutes for the LED to register after powering on
the Extender. After setup, the LED can be your guide for position-
ing the Extender to a better location (if needed). We recommend
a signal strength of at least 70%, or when the LED is green.
