  • Here is the WiFi extender that I recommend amzn.to/3r9KpUH
    What is a WiFi extender - WiFi booster for 2020? A wifi extender is what extends the range of a wireless signal from a wifi router. It acts like a bridge between a wifi router and a wifi device, that is outside the range of a wifi router. It's also known as a wifi booster.

    I got an extender once. Used it like an antenna to pick up the wifi from my router and then plugged a ethernet cable from the extender to my xbox. Download speed went from 3mbps to 230mps. Amazing and well worth it.

    ChatGPT :
    A WiFi extender and a WiFi repeater are terms often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between the two:
    1. **WiFi Extender:**
    - A WiFi extender is a device that extends the range of an existing WiFi network. It does so by creating a new network, often with a different name (SSID), and connecting to the original router wirelessly.
    - The extender receives the WiFi signal from the router and retransmits it, effectively expanding the coverage area. Devices connect to the extender, and the extender communicates with the router.
    2. **WiFi Repeater:**
    - A WiFi repeater also extends the range of a WiFi network, but it typically works differently. A repeater receives the existing WiFi signal, amplifies it, and then rebroadcasts it.
    - Unlike an extender, a repeater usually operates on the same network name (SSID) as the original router. Devices seamlessly switch between the router and the repeater as needed.
    In summary, while both devices aim to extend WiFi coverage, an extender usually creates a separate network, while a repeater amplifies and rebroadcasts the existing network. The choice between the two depends on your specific needs and the features of the devices you are considering.

      No, the most commonly asked question about extenders was not addressed. Consumers firstly want to know if extenders
      epeaters have to be hard wired back to the main router, or are they strictly stand alone devices.. or both.

    • @natnaelalemayehu9112
      @natnaelalemayehu9112 Před 3 lety +5

      @@Plissken68 He clearly addressed that. You connect wirelessly with the main router. Had it been a wireless AP then you connect it to the router by Ethernet Cable. But this is not a wireless AP rather it is a wifi extender.

    Your video is already 4 years old, and it is good, but technology has improved a lot in 4 years.
    I spent several months thinking about extending coverage at home, and finally I decided to buy a new router WiFi 6 extended so wit will improve performance and range.
    All I need is conect the new router with cable to the Access point and Base Router.
    Talking about price I think is almosy the same price a WiFi extender as Netgear than a new Wifi 6 Extended router.
