Tips
Here are a few things to keep in mind when you are installing your AX1500 Smart Range Extender.
Centralize the extender’s location
For best performance, make sure you place the extender in a centralized location within your desired usage area. Try to place the
extender so that there are minimal obstructions between it and the uplink router. If possible, use an elevated power outlet, so the
signal can be dispersed more easily. If you have a large home or usage area, you may need several extenders in order to achieve
optimal coverage.
Eliminate Interference
Place home appliances such as cordless telephones, microwaves, and televisions as far away as possible from the extender. This can
significantly reduce any interference that the appliances might cause since they operate on the same frequency.
Wireless Encryption
Don’t let your neighbors or intruders connect to your wireless network. Encrypt your wireless network by utilizing the Wi-Fi
Protected Access security protocols on the extender and uplink router. Refer to the relevant sections of this manual for further
details.
