You can use your extender in extender mode or in access point mode. In extender mode, your extender repeats the signals from your Wifi router. After initial setup, the best location for the extender is about halfway between your router and the area with a poor WiFi signal. The extender must be within the range of your wifi router network. In access point mode, your extender creates a new WiFi hotspot by using a wired Ethernet connection.
