Does the Hue Bridge have to be near the lights?

In that sense, the bridge works as its own wifi router for all the lights. But there are some people who do not have the wifi routers in their homes. For those people, you could buy a wifi "extender" with an ethernet connector that would allow you to connect to your wifi wirelessly, then plug in the Hue Bridge to it.

Where do you put the Philips hue bridge?
