A WiFi Extender May Be the Key to a Peaceful Household This School Year
Connect multiple devices at once without slowing down your speeds with a WiFi extender.
Whether you’re newly working from home or need a boost in your signal, a WiFi extender can help take the headaches out of wondering why your internet is so slow. Extenders are there to help, well, extend the signal of your WiFi. Traditionally, signals become weak because of two things, an overload of users (all those teenagers home for quarantine doing TikToks) or interference like a wall or even a TV. There’s really only so much you can get out of your normal router. WiFi extenders will blanket your home with strong, fast WiFi, so that no matter where you are, you’ll be able to stream, Zoom, and do more without dropping signal.
