During setup you need the device in the same room as the router. Once setup is complete you want to deploy it somewhere between the router and where you want a stronger signal. Netgear has a neat Analytics app to help you figure where to put the extender. Check their website for more info on how to do this. Netgear.com.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I thought I might need to put it close to the original signal source but no, mine is 75-80' away and it works great!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I put mine in the middle of the house, in the area just before I list signal.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should be placed on the outer edges of the router's coverage area to expand the wireless signal not next to the router.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should be placed where the signal starts to fade from the router or a midpoint
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I plugged it in where the signal is weak. I have it on the opposite side of where the router is located.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Opposite - works best not going around too many corners or through appliances. We have the modem in a room over the garage and the booster in a downstairs family room - works perfectly!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No need to put it next to the router. You just need it next to the router when you set it up for the first time. After that you need to test the best location. You can see signal quality through color coded light on the device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Is intended to boost a weakening signal, so putting it beside the wireless router will probably not do much of anything.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In my case, putting the AC750 midway between the router and the desired signal boost location worked best. I tried a few different placements of the AC750 and doing a signal strength test at each before finding the best spot.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
