Once you have identified the suitable location, you can install your baby unit. Adjust the distance between your baby unit and the Wi-Fi router if needed.
TIP:
Depending on surroundings and obstructing factors, such as the effect
distance and internal walls have on signal strength, you may experience
reduced Wi-Fi signal. To improve the Wi-Fi signal strength, adjust the
distance or direction of your parent unit. Check with your parent unit again.
