1.3 Position Your Wireless Range Extender 
For  best  performance,  follow  rules  below  to  place  your  wireless  range 
extender: 

                                                                                      Chapter 1 Product Overview

The Best Way is Half-Way 
Generally, the ideal location for the range extender is half-way between your 
wireless  router  and  your  Wi-Fi  enabled  devices.  If  that  is  not  impossible, 
placing the range extender closer to your wireless router will ensure better 
performance. 
Solid Green LED 
Choose a location that lights up the green signal strength LED  .   
Less Interference = More Stability   
Try  to  position  your  range  extender  away  from  electrical  devices  that  are 
potential  sources  of  interference,  such  as  ceiling  fans,  home  security 
systems, microwaves, PCs, refrigerators, the base of a cordless phone, or a 
2.4 GHz cordless phone. 
Less Obstacles = Better Performance 
Try  to  choose  a  location  that  minimizes  obstacles  between  the  range 
extender  and  your  wireless  router.  Open  corridors  and  other  spacious 
locations  will  typically  provide  better  conditions  for  performance  than  a 
crowded room. 

                                                                      Chapter 2 Internet Connection Setup

4.  Click System Status to check the bridge status. When the bridge status 
displays Connected, bridged successfully. 
Tip ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
1. If the wireless range extender is connected to the remote router within 20 
seconds,  the  wireless  range  extender ’s  DHCP  server  will  be  disabled 
automatically. Thus, the wireless range extender will get the IP assigned 
from the remote router and then you can access to the Internet.   
2. If the wireless range extender isn’t connected to the remote router within 
20  seconds,  the  wireless  range  extender’s  DHCP  server  will  be  enabled 
automatically. The wireless range extender will get the IP assigned from 
the wireless range extender itself. Thus, you can’t access to the Internet.  
3. When bridged successfully, the range extender’s SSID and security mode 
will be the same as that of the remote router. 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

                                                                      Chapter 2 Internet Connection Setup

after device is powered up. If it does not light up, then some internal faults 
may have occurred.
