What is a WiFi Extender?

A WiFi extender is a device that receives the WiFi signal from your router and then re-transmits (relays) it. This relaying process includes amplifying the signal and, if necessary, converting the band according to its design specifications. Essentially, it boosts the range of your existing WiFi router, extending the network’s reach to devices located in WiFi dead zones.

Features of WiFi Extenders

When selecting a WiFi extender, consider these technical specifications:

  • Frequency bands supported: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz, 2.4/5 GHz (dual-band), or all three (tri-band).
  • IEEE WLAN standards supported: 802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ax, etc.
  • Power source: AC-powered or USB-powered. Most users prefer AC-powered extenders for easy plug-in installation.
  • Ethernet port: Having an ethernet port allows for a very high data rate connection compared to wireless.
  • WPS compatibility: WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) makes it simple for even less tech-savvy users to set up the extender with the press of a button. You press the WPS button on the router first, then the WPS button on the extender.
  • Cost-effectiveness: It should ideally be cheaper than buying a new router.
