What does a WiFi Router extender do?
Permalink   
 


A Wi-Fi router extender, also known as a Wi-Fi range extender or repeater, is a device that extends the coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network. It works by receiving the existing Wi-Fi signal from a router and then rebroadcasting it to extend the range and improve the signal strength in areas where the signal is weak or nonexistent.

A WiFi Router Extender typically has two antennas, one for receiving the signal from the router and another for transmitting the extended signal to other devices. It can be placed in any location within range of the existing Wi-Fi network and can help eliminate dead zones and improve Wi-Fi coverage in larger homes, offices, or other spaces.

The setup process for a Wi-Fi router extender is typically simple and involves connecting the device to the existing Wi-Fi network and configuring it through a web interface or mobile app. It's important to note that using a Wi-Fi router extender can result in some loss of speed and performance, as the extended signal is typically weaker and slower than the original signal.

Overall, a Wi-Fi router extender is a useful device for extending the coverage of an existing Wi-Fi network and can be a cost-effective alternative to upgrading to a more powerful router or using a mesh Wi-Fi system.
