Where should I place Repeaters?
Plug Repeaters into standard wall outlets using the provided USB-C adapters. For the most precise room-level location tracking and reliable coverage, place one in every major room or zone — classrooms, offices, hallways, waiting rooms, and common areas – ensuring one is placed at least every 100 feet. For outdoor coverage, Repeaters positioned near windows or exterior walls can extend signal into parking lots, playgrounds, and courtyards.
