In extender mode, your extender repeats the signals from your
WiFi router. After initial setup, the best location for the extender is
about halfway between your router and the area with a poor WiFi
signal. The extender must be within the range of your WiFi router
network.
In access point mode, your extender creates a new WiFi hotspot by
using a wired Ethernet connection.
