What is a Wi-Fi booster?
A Wi-Fi booster (also known as a Wi-Fi extender or repeater) is a handy little device designed to stretch your existing WiFi signal further. Think of it as a middleman between your Wi-Fi router and the hard-to-reach spots in your home. It catches the signal from your router and 'boosts' it, so it can reach areas where your connection might be weak (or has gone AWOL completely!).
How does it work?
Imagine your Wi-Fi router as a speaker at a party. The closer you are, the better you can hear the music. But the further away you go, especially around walls and corners, the fainter the music becomes.
A Wi-Fi booster acts like an extra speaker set up halfway across the room, picking up the faint signal from your router. It amplifies it so you can still stream and download without interuption.
Stronger signal
-
You simply plug the booster into an outlet somewhere between your router and the area with weak signal.
-
Once it’s set up, the booster will extend the Wi-Fi range, making sure that more of your home gets a strong, steady signal.
Your new best friend!

If lots of people are using the internet at the same time, streaming movies, gaming, or working from home - a booster can help to make sure everyone gets a good, solid connection without (without the arguments)!
-
Love watching movies, playing online games, or having video calls? A Wi-Fi booster can help prevent those annoying buffering moments or lag by keeping the connection strong throughout your space.
-
If you're working from home and need to move from one room to another without losing your Wi-Fi connection, a booster can make sure the signal follows you. It’s especially helpful if your office is tucked away in a far corner of the house.
-
If you’re tired of moving around the house trying to find a signal or waiting for pages to load, a Wi-Fi booster might be just what you need.
So, if your Wi-Fi isn’t reaching every corner of your home, a booster can be a game-changer!
