### **3. Install your WiFi extender**
1. **Identify an optimal location for your WiFi extender to maximize coverage.**
   * Select a location in a different room, away from your gateway and not too close to large furniture, mirrors, glass, or metal. 
   * Extenders should not be located behind furniture (it could reduce your signal) and extenders should not be placed on the floor. 
2. **Connect it to a (120V) electrical wall outlet.** 
3. **Repeat the above process for additional WiFi extenders** and enjoy even greater WiFi coverage in your home.

**Open the Plume Home app**, go to the Network tab and verify that your new extender(s) is now displayed in the Topology section.
