Adjust the WiFi coverage
You can adjust the extender output power percentage and range of your extended WiFi
network. If you select a low output power percentage, the extender's WiFi range will
be shorter, and the extender uses less power. If you select a high output power
percentage, the extender's WiFi range will be longer, and the extender uses more
power.
For a smaller coverage area, choose a lower output power percentage. For a larger
coverage area, select a higher output power percentage.
To adjust the WiFi coverage:
1.

extender network.
