3. Operating the Extender

After successful setup, the Hyzom WiFi Extender operates by extending your existing WiFi signal. Devices connected to the extender will benefit from improved signal strength and coverage.

3.1. Optimal Placement

For best performance, place the extender halfway between your router and the area where you experience poor WiFi signal. Avoid placing it near large metal objects, concrete walls, or other electronic devices that may cause interference.
