This is one of the questions we usually ask ourselves when we buy a device of this type, where should I place my new Wi-Fi repeater. I know this may seem like an unimportant matter at first glance, but the truth is that the opposite is true. It is a fundamental question because its location will depend on both the coverage and the intensity and quality of the signal, as well as the performance.

By this I mean something as simple as it is important, a badly placed Wi-Fi repeater can cause us serious headaches and if we haven’t adjusted its position really well We are likely to have a disastrous experience. Not everyone is aware of this reality, which is why we wanted to give shape to this article, in which we will explain where it is best to place a Wi-Fi repeater.

The position of the repeater can be easily changed, so don’t worry if you didn’t get its location the first time, because you will have to look for another location that is more accurate and in line with what we are going to tell you below. As always if you have any questions You can leave it at the end of the article and we will be happy to help you solve it. Without further ado, get comfortable, let’s get down to business.

Where should I place the Wi-Fi repeater?

Take two important key points as a base, the room where the router is and the areas you want your Wi-Fi to reach with the new repeater. There are two things you need to be clear about this base, the first is that you can’t go too far from the repeater router, because if you do, it won’t receive the signal with enough strength and it’s likely that it won’t be able to repeat it as it should, and thus you won’t be able to extend the signal.

Second, it must be clear to you The repeater will have a limited range and in certain cases it may not be possible to reach the desired location with the Wi-Fi repeater. In these cases you have two options, choose to use another repeater or use a PLC with Wi-Fi repeater functions. Both options are interesting and in the end it will all depend on you and what you want to spend on. For example, if you already have a repeater and just need another one, this may be the best option.

Therefore, to properly place the Wi-Fi repeater, you need to look for a position that is not too far from the router. Most current repeaters, such as the FRITZ!Repeater 2400, They come with a light indicator to help you find the optimal point in this regard. You should also keep in mind that if you cannot reach the area where you wanted to extend the coverage, you should not force the position of the repeater, because if you move it too far, you will have problems.

This is also important Do not place the Wi-Fi repeater near walls and other obstacles that may reduce the signal range.and also sources of interference. It would be ideal to find an elevated position, although we know that plugging it into an outlet is not always possible. if you have drawers of medium height These will undoubtedly be your best choice.
