    Ideally, the AirPort Extreme should be located in the center of your home, so the distance that a wireless signal must travel to reach the outer rooms of the house would be about equal. 

     

    The AirPort Extreme is set to broadcast at 100% power, so the only way that you will be able to increase the range of signal is add one or more AirPorts to "extend" the wireless network.
