■NOTE: To achieve maximum overall range, you may place the repeater outside the radius where the signal begins to drop out. However, this will impact the overall connection speeds you will achieve.
■NOTE: Alternatively, to use your repeater to avoid obstructions between the router and the client computers, position your repeater so that there is a clear line of sight between the repeater and the router and a clear line of sight between the repeater and client computers.
