We live in a mobile home. Out back, only about 50feet away we get no internet. We added this extender and I still get no service. Does the aluminum exterior block the signal? null

Question

Is it possible to locate the extender In a window of the mobile home, such that you can see it from outside? ...at least while using the internet. The aluminum of the mobile home is very likely the culprit of the weak signal. This model of extender has a powerful signal, but large amounts of metal, such as a mobile home, will unfortunately reduce the effective range.

I'm not a tech support person but can say from personal experience the aluminum most likely affects signal transmission.
