Q5.What should I do to maximize my signal strength in Repeater/Bridge mode?
When choosing an ideal location to optimize wireless signal in Repeater/Bridge mode, please refer to the following recommendations.
•The Best Way is Halfway
Generally, the ideal location for the repeater is about halfway between your wireless router and your wireless clients and make sure that the location you choose is within the range of the host router. If that is not possible, place it closer to your wireless router to ensure stable performance.
•Less Obstacles Ensure Better Performance
Choose a location with less obstacles that may block the signal between the access point and the host network. An open corridor or a spacious location is ideal.
