Smart WiFi Plus Orange Light

[SJB2024]

My EE Smart Wifi Plus booster keep dropping the aqua light and goes to the orange light - what does this mean?

It has disconnected from router - see Fix problems with Smart WiFi

The instructions on that link say this:

• Orange - Smart WiFi Plus is working okay. Try moving it closer to the hub or one of the other Smart WiFi Plus devices.

Is it really working ok if it's Orange?

What is said there is a bit of a nonsense. How can it be working OK when you need to move it closer to something else?

No, if it really was working OK it would be showing steady Aqua.

Haha! I'm glad you agree!

What I don't understand is though it used to work fine and only recently started to drop to orange. Also, taking it nearer would defeat the purpose maybe as the not-spot problem is in my study and if I take the booster out then it's not in a convenient location (in a landing)..

I think it's trying to say it's too far from the router/other extender to maintain a reliable connection & so move it closer to 1 or other.
