What is a Range Extender?
Internet range extenders, also called Wi-Fi extenders or repeaters, are devices designed to improve wireless coverage in areas where your Wi-Fi signal is weak or inconsistent. They work by receiving the existing signal from your router and rebroadcasting it, effectively extending the network’s reach to rooms or floors that are far away or blocked by walls, furniture, or other interference. While they don’t increase your internet speed itself, they can make your connection more reliable in previously hard-to-reach spots, helping reduce dropped connections and slow loading caused by poor signal strength.
