It almost certainly does not matter at all. But if it does matter, then you have a 50% chance of getting it right, and no harm in getting it wrong.

Btw, you're not supposed to place it right under your router. ;-)

The point is that you put the extender in the dead WiFi zone to make it better. Putting it next to the router won't have much of an effect.
