Range Extender

What is Range Extender?

A Range Extender, also known as a Wi-Fi booster or repeater, is a networking device that helps extend the range and coverage of a wireless network.

It works by receiving the wireless signal from an existing wireless router or access point and retransmitting it to extend the range of the network. Range extenders are useful in areas where the wireless signal from the router or access point is weak or does not reach certain parts of the building. They are typically easy to set up and require minimal configuration. Some range extenders come with built-in antennas or have the ability to add external antennas to improve signal strength and coverage. When a range extender is placed in the appropriate location, it can improve the wireless signal and provide more coverage to devices in its range. However, it is important to note that range extenders can also cause slower network speeds due to signal degradation, and they can create their own network congestion when many devices are connected to them. In summary, a range extender is a simple and cost-effective way to extend the range and coverage of a wireless network. It is ideal for use in areas where the wireless signal is weak or does not reach certain parts of the building.
