Install an upgrade to Wi-Fi if you are experiencing issues using your devices in an area that is dead. These devices are easy to set up and use, and enhance WiFi signals for better speeds. You’ll need an WiFi router to connect to, a power outlet to connect it and the direction you want it directed. Some boosters also have additional features, like the USB port to charge wireless devices.
How do you install a WiFi Signal Booster
A WiFi booster, also known as a range extender, can be described as a simple, hassle-free device that connects to your router wirelessly and can be used anyplace you have an internet connection. It receives the signal from your router and rebroadcasts it to a nearby area, so you can access the network from your backyard or basement. Set it halfway between your router and the location where you lose signal and make sure you point it in that direction.
It’s important to be aware that while a booster improves internet speed, the speed provided by your internet provider isn’t increased. This is because the speed you pay for is derived from your broadband service and is not dependent on how far you are from WiFi signals.
Another thing to keep in mind is that wireless signal transmissions are highly hampered by water, which means water sources like a waterfall, aquarium or even a cup of coffee can degrade your signal. Keep the WiFi booster and cellular amplifier clear of any water sources.
