Make a note where you start to hear noise on your call (the
signal is getting weaker).
If the handset has a signal strength icon, you can use the
icon to find the best location: make a note where the icon
first indicates the signal is getting weaker.
Place the range extender anywhere inside the range where
the handset had a clear connection with no noise and the
icon showed a strong signal.

the AC adapter. The

making sure the range extender is not near
electronic devices that can cause interference.
making sure there are no thick walls or large
