No matter if you’re trying streaming a movie in the basement or follow a tutorial on how to install laminate flooring, it’s important that your WiFi signal move from one area to another. To eliminate WiFi dead zones, and to boost your internet speed you will require an WiFi signal booster or extender.
A WiFi signal booster (also called wireless range extender) pulls in an existing weak WiFi signal and amplifies it prior to broadcasting it to other areas. The process extends the WiFi coverage area and lets users browse the internet without having to use their data packages or being disconnected.
The most commonly used type of WiFi booster is an extender for powerline Wi-Fi that uses the electrical wiring of your home to rebroadcast the WiFi signal and increase the speed of your internet. Installing it is easy and quick. Connect it to an electrical outlet near your router or wherever else you need the additional boost to your WiFi.
There are many different WiFi signal boosters, which differ in design, range, and power of amplifying. Some of them feature a wall-mounted or desktop design, while others are more substantial and include stronger external antennas that will boost WiFi signal across multiple rooms. Some devices can also be used as a Wi-Fi extender, or repeater. You must select the model which best meets your requirements. No matter which model you choose, it is important to put it in an open area free of walls or other appliances which could impact its performance.
