Abstract: A method of determining a location for an access point is provided, which includes positioning an electronic device including a wireless communication circuit at a location separated from a first access point; sensing a signal from the first access point using the electronic device; determining a first value from the sensed signal using the electronic device; converting the first value into a second value using the electronic device; comparing the second value with a threshold value using the electronic device; and determining, by the electronic device, whether the location is suitable for a second access point to be wirelessly linked to the first access point based at least partly on the result of the comparison.
