2.3.8. Step 7: POSITIONING THE WIFI EXTENDER (WiFi
Extender Mode
To help you choose the best location for your Hercules WiFi Extender, we present below several pieces of
advice which you may adapt according to your environment (number of rooms, computers, storeys in your
home, the presence of obstacles, the locations of electrical outlets and telephone plugs...).
- First off, verify the range of the WiFi network coverage zone transmitted by your modem router. This will
allow you to determine the maximum distance from your modem router that you can position your Hercules
WiFi Extender.
- Disconnect your WiFi Extender, then position it in a room approximately halfway between the furthest point
you wish to cover and your modem router.
- Verify that this location is within the current WiFi network coverage zone transmitted by your modem router.
Try to position your WiFi Extender in an unobstructed area and well off the ground (on a high table or on the
wall).
- Keep a minimum distance of 2m between your WiFi Extender and any computers or WiFi devices.
- If you have several computers or WiFi devices on different storeys of your home, on the ground floor and on
the second floor for example, you should ideally position your Hercules WiFi Extender on the second floor
directly above your modem router.
