When placing any Wifi device in your home, always look on the other side of the walls to see what's there. I'm seeing more people placing the router in a room where on the other side of the wall is the refrigerator. While the Wifi will still work, the signal will be diminished because it needs to pass through the refrigerator which is all metal. This can be especially true in a Courtyard Villa where the typical floor plan may cause this to happen.
If possible, try to place the Wifi device on the top of your desk or on the top of a bookshelf if possible. The higher the better because there will be less obstructions for the wifi signal to pass through and you will get significantly better coverage. You will need an ethernet patch cable, sometimes a long one to move the wifi device in some cases. You can get these ethernet cables on Amazon. Cat 5E or Cat 6 is fine for this short distance.
