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. 
  3. Connect it to a (120V) electrical wall outlet. 
  4. 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.
