If you haven't already positioned your Range Extender in an
optimal location, you may do so now. All Range Extender settings
are saved and can be safely powered off for relocation.
The Range Extender is equipped with a Signal Strength LED on
front 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.
