The range extender is installed in a location where the wireless signal of an existing wireless network exists. The ideal location to place the range extender is in a location where the wireless of an existing signal is available but weak. The range extender needs to detect the existing wireless signal in order to extend any signal.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity

There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:

1. Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce

the range of a wireless device. Position the wireless devices in a manner that will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.

a. For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of

your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.

b. Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets

and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and masonry walls.

c. Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic

objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the wireless device, the better.

d. Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors,

and fluorescent lighting.

e. Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so

if your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and test the signal strength to determine the ideal position.

2. Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor

environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes through less dense material such as dry wall. Dense materials like metal, solid wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.

3. Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use

the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna orientation for your wireless devices.

4. Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also

impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.

Extending a wireless network

What is a wireless network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet access, which requires a router.A large home network may also have a switch, additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and internetcameras. A wireless network is the same network mentioned however the devices communicatewith each other wirelessly.

Why use a wireless extender?

An existing wireless network may not have the ability to cover your entire home or office. Wireless dead spots are locations around your home or office where you are unable to establish a wireless connection to your network. The range extender eliminates dead spots by connecting to anexisting wireless network, and broadcasting another wireless signal in an area with a weak wireless signal. .

How to setup your range extender

There are two ways you can configure the TEW-736RE. The easiest way is to use the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Push Button Configuration method. To use this methodyour wireless router or access point must also have a WPS button. The second way to configure the TEW-736RE is through the built-in setup Wizard.
