Place the main node
Put the primary unit near the modem and centrally located.
Space nodes
Place nodes with some overlap; avoid hiding behind thick walls or metal.
Use wired backhaul
Wire nodes if possible for better throughput; otherwise, set optimal channels.
Test coverage
Walk with a Wi-Fi analyzer to ensure stable signal in key rooms.
