Having a wireless router does not guarantee against dead zones in certain areas of your home and business. Fortunately, WiFi signal boosters are now available to solve this problem.
WiFi signal boosters are a cost-effective solution to extending your WiFi reach. By using them, you can avoid incurring additional cost of adding Cat6 cable and networking gears to support your WiFi, like additional switches and hubs. A WiFi signal booster works by connecting to the owner’s current wireless network and making the signal stronger by bouncing it around the area. This allows more users to work, play or use gaming devices in different areas of the home or business.
A WiFi booster is different from a wireless repeater, which is a standalone device that increases the network’s reach to places that may not otherwise pick up the signal. Although it also boosts the signal, it does so in another way.
To maximize their benefits, WiFi boosters should be placed in a location where they can pick up the router’s signal clearly. It is important that they are away from interference such as thick walls and signal-emitting appliances. Many WiFi boosters are easy to setup; all you have to do is press the setup button and the device will automatically establish a relationship with your router.
