What is a WiFi extender?

A sound internet connection is essential for life in this day and age. What is a WiFi extender. Birmingham, AlabamaWe need it for our phones, tablets, computers, and even our televisions. A strong WiFi connection is vital to stay in touch, work, learn, and stay informed of what is happening in the world. The world has gone virtual, and there is no going back.

Sometimes it gets incredibly daunting when there is a weak signal or none at all. The internet is supposed to make our lives easier. However, sometimes it can be the source of frustration. If you are working and this happens, your hard work could be lost, or you may spend all day trying to get things done on a weak internet connection. The internet is supposed to make our lives easier, right? A bad WIFI network could hit you hard in your pocketbook.

You may also find your self with a slow network if there are multiple users on it simultaneously or if you are far away from the main router. There are several ways to combat this problem: you could opt to pay more and get a better internet package or save a little and invest in a WiFi extender.

Also referred to as a WiFi booster or repeater, a WiFi extender does just what the name implies; it extends your network's range across your home or office. The extender can essentially double your coverage to create a stronger signal in places you may not have had before; it can even make your WIFI stronger in your yard.

The kit is easy to set up and usually just involves plugging it in connecting it, and you are ready to go.

When you need help from an electrician IMMEDDIATELY, this is the company to call. They came out right away, gave me several options for the repair, and the pricing was fair. I can tell you this, if I had another electrical problem this is the company that I would call.

Thanks for Saving Me!

John's Electric was wonderful! I called and he was at my house within an hour!! I was at great risk of fire because of my breaker overheating, and he got me taken care of quickly, and affordably! I have a home warranty, that wouldn't cover my issue, and he jumped in and took care of me. If I ever had need again, I know who to call. Couldn't recommend John's any higher!!!
