A vital technology today

We’ve all encountered situations like this. Whether it’s yours, your family’s or your friends’s, your Wi-Fi connection is very poor, so one way people try to solve this problem is to buy one that will enhance their Wi-Fi Connected device.

However, this raises another set of questions, such as what are my options and what is the best value for money?

In terms of the products offered, there is an opportunity to choose between Wi-Fi repeaters, boosters or extenders.

The Wi-Fi repeater extends the range of your Wi-Fi, so all it does is simply repeat the signal from the line and cover a larger circle.

It is worth remembering that if the Wi-Fi repeater is connected to a single Wi-Fi, you will end up with poor bandwidth.

Wi-Fi extenders extend the range of Wi-Fi networks, and there are two types-wireless and wired. Generally, these are used to reach areas in your home and office where there is little signal.

Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the connection between the router and the extender (booster) is good, otherwise you may see the network drop and poor reception.

Although both Wi-Fi repeaters and Wi-Fi extenders (boosters) can enhance your network coverage, they perform different functions. The job of the Wi-Fi repeater is to rebroadcast the existing network, while the Wi-Fi extender (booster) connects to the main network and creates a new network.

One problem with Wi-Fi repeaters is that they are susceptible to interference from external signals, while Wi-Fi extenders (boosters) are not affected by any interference.
