My Extender Won't Connect Anymore

Question

My extender was working, but now it's not.  It was plugged in in the kitche,, and now I've moved it into the living room to be closer to my computer.

Answer

The Extender needs to be close to the access point outside, in order to relay the signal inside.  If you've moved the Extender away from it''s location where it could connect to the outdoor access point it will lose connection.

WiFi Extender Placement

A second extender can be installed, and connected to your existing WiFi Extender.
