Depending on the layout of your home, you may want to put the extender on the first floor above ground in order to get the strong signal to repeat coming from the router.

I have three floors also. I have an stair well connecting all three floors. I put mine under a step on the middle floor. I have one antenna pointing up and one pointing down. Great signal everywhere, even on our three outside decks.

I installed it at work. The router is in the front office of a brick building about 140' long. The extender is in the basement at the back and sends the signal into a basement room in the (attached) building next door. I played around with placement to get the best signal. No problems and it has never dropped.

Find out what your connection name is. Do this by doing a wifi scan if you dont already know what it is it should be located on the router. You will have to type in your "wep" number which is found on the back of your router which is provided by your cable provider.

All I can say is that I have two of these and in each room they get different channels. I don't get all that one does in the other room. Being in a basement, The signal may be a bit weak. Best that I can answer.

I'd get a better Router :)Seriously, place it in the same room you're using (if possible), as range decreases with every layer of material it has to pass through (flooring, ceiling, walls, etc.).This is a basic router, and if you really don't want to stare at your router on a daily basis, you can try putting it in a room adjacent to the main area you normally use. Hiding it in the basement when you're usually upstairs will likely result in you dropping your connection more frequently.Good luck in optimizing your location!Gordon

We have a two and a half story house. I have the Amped about 4 feet from the router on the second floor which is near the center of the house horizontally and vertically. Near the router, I use the router's wi-fi signal. Farther out on the second floor, on the first floor, and the third floor, I use the Amped's signal. This setup works great for me.

I'm not aware of a range extender. I had the same thought as given in the previous answer, install the base unit on the first floor. Or, try moving the base unit to a different place in the basement.

Do you plug this in next to the router or move it to another room? My router is upstairs but I need it too work in the downstairs bedroom and hopefully basement.

So long as the cable run is short. I have a pretty long cable run... and adding a splitter wasn't great for the signal. (Basement to third floor.)

Unfortunately, we have a wireless router in the basement.. thus the house is essentially wireless. What would you recommend in that case?

My router is in to floor of my house and I'm using this on a desktop in the basement. I get 4 bars out of 5 signal strength. I would say it's about 50 to 60 feet distance between the two. Haven't tried any other distance

It's going to depend on the router. In my case, my router is on the first floor of the house while the WeMo is located in the basement. All is working without any issues.

Hi. This will extend your wifi from downstairs to the 2nd floor so that you have "full bars" again. My router is in the basement and my extender is on the main floor and my laptop works great on the upper floor. Hope that helps!

radius is roughly 25-30 yards... on the same level (floor and outdoors) as the router. you do have to be careful of obstructions (metal doors/ductwork/appliances/etc) as they'll reflect the signal. a good central location would be best. :)

The range is adequate. I have it connected to my PC in the basement, and router is on the 1st floor of my house. The signal is strong and I've never lost connection.

It would mount outside of your building on a pole (unit comes with mount but not pole) point it in direction of where you want signal. Run cable indoors to poe injector (included). Then another cable goes from injector to your router / modem / Internet . Program and enjoy 100% signal.

I have a house constructed with concrete blocks. I couldn't get a signal in downstairs rooms. I am using a Lynksys PLWK 400 - Extender and it works for me. The signal is transferred through a signal that goes through the wiring and is picked up by a device that plugs into the house circuit.
