4. Why do I need a Wi-Fi Extender?

Some Businesses may be too large for the router Wi-Fi signal to cover the entire location. There
could also be types of interference, such as walls, microwaves, cordless phones, etc., that can
weaken the Wi-Fi signal.
Wi-Fi Extenders help extend the reach of the Wi-Fi signal in locations of your Business where the Wi-
Fi signal is weak or no signal is available. To get the most out of your Extender, when connected
wirelessly to the router, place it between your Router and the weak Wi-Fi area. Reference the table
below to ensure you have placed the Extender in an optimal location.
