A Range Extender only works as well as the signal it is extending.
Therefore, proper placement of your DAP-1520 is important in
achieving desired results.
For best performance, place your DAP-1520 in between your
router and your dead zone, making sure it’s placed in a location
where the Wi-Fi signal is still strong.
