the area with a poor WiFi signal.

the router and try again.
Keep moving the extender to outlets closer to the router until the Router Link LED
lights white.

Use the Extender in Access Point Mode
You can use the extender as a WiFi access point, which creates a new WiFi hotspot by
using a wired Ethernet connection.
