So in this guide we’ll be sharing every little detail on how you can connect to the eero extender. 

✓ Strategically Place The Eero Extender 

First and foremost important point to consider here is placement of the eero extender. No matter which networking device you are setting up, its placement will play a very crucial role in the overall outcome. So here are a few placement strategies that you should definitely consider, if you want smooth and uninterrupted wireless coverage at your place.

2. Thereafter, ensure the surroundings of eero extender are free from electrical and metal objects. Common objects near to which you should avoid the placement are: microwave, refrigerator, cordless phones, bluetooth devices, security cameras, fish tanks including baby monitors as well as aluminum doors. All such objects tend to interfere with the signal transmission of eero extenders. 
3. Moving further, placing the eero range extender in an open area, on some high platform that offers ventilation is also a good idea.
