“Where do you locate it? In the room where there is a weak signal or somewhere between the residential gateway (ATT) and the weak room? I read about "spot location features in more expensive units.”

During the set-up it says to place the unit near your main router (residential gateway) to ensure a good signal whilst it is set up. Once you've got things configured then you can move the extender further away and place it somewhere midway between your router and the remote (dead/weak) area. I actually have mine right in the room where I have a weak spot and now the signal is just as strong there as if I was "sitting on top" of my main router!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have two of these. I have one on the other side of the house from the wifi system, same floor. I also have one in the basement area for my home theater. It picks up nicely for the Roku and Amazon players we have downstairs.

Adding a Linksys range extender to the network will extend the wireless range because it repeats the signal and allowing it to reach the devices in the room or hard to reach areas. The RE4100w comes with the Linksys Spot Finder Technology feature where it finds the right placement for the extender.
