I can’t recall the exact range specified by the manufacturer, but I selected this product partly because of its advertised coverage. (I’ve included a speed test from the first floor; the extender is installed on the second floor—see the attached picture.) Based on my experience with Wi-Fi in hospitality settings, one of the biggest challenges is the building’s age and construction. Concrete floors, walls, ceilings, and potential metal ceilings can all impact the wireless signal. Here are a few tips to improve your Wi-Fi extender’s performance: • Try to mount the extender higher up, rather than placing it lower to the ground. • If possible, aim the extender toward the area where most users are located. In some cases, you may need two extenders because the signal can be blocked or split by the building’s structure. Normally, one extender would be enough, but challenging environments might require more.

For best results, place the extender in a location where it receives an adequate signal from your router and provides ample extension to the necessary locations.
