A high-speed internet connection and an efficient router is the base of any solid Wi-Fi connection. Unfortunately, a variety of factors can thwart that solid connection, ranging from home issues such as dead spots to signal interference. Fortunately, there are many ways to strengthen that connection, from specific hardware to simply altering your Wi-Fi settings.
A Wi-Fi booster can be a fantastic solution to rid yourself of weak wireless signals, regardless of whether you’re having difficulty streaming video or playing online or just want a better consistent signal across your home. Boosters, repeaters, and extenders are designed to boost the wireless network signal and expand it to areas that your current signal cannot reach.
Different WiFi boosters have different features, but all work in the same way. They connect to an electrical source and then connect wirelessly to your router view. Some are wall-plugs while others have a sleeker design and are placed on a table or desk. Some models have powerful amplifiers and more powerful antennas that increase the coverage of your WiFi over multiple floors, all corners of your home, or even your backyard.
Consider a simple WiFi extender, such as this one from Netgear, when you’re ready. They work because they’re simple to install and don’t require an ethernet cord. The extenders come with a WPS button that makes connecting to your router simple and simple. Install the extender in the middle of your router, and in the area that you want to amplify so that it can receive and transmit as strong as possible.
