Do WiFi signal amplifiers really work? After reading this, you will understand

My colleague Xiao Wang has recently moved to a new home, which is spacious and bright, with a total area of 120. But there was a headache for him - the network signal in his new home was not good. His bedroom is only two walls away from the main Gigabit WiFi, and the signal should theoretically be stress-free, but in reality this is not the case.

Although his bedroom has a WiFi signal, it becomes extremely unstable when it rains or when the doors and windows are closed. When playing games in the bedroom, the high latency and network fluctuations simply crashed him, and the gaming experience was greatly reduced. Even, when he wants to watch a ** in the toilet, he often gets stuck. This kind of network situation made him feel very troubled.

In fact, this is not a problem faced by Xiao Wang alone, how many people have encountered such a "network dilemma" at home. This is actually because the network coverage is not enough to cause a bad signal, if you use a router with a wifi signal amplifier, you don't have to suffer from this crime.

There are two types of wifi signal amplifiers. One is an external signal amplifier: divided into repeater and expander. There is also a signal amplifier that is integrated inside the router.

Repeater:After receiving the signal from the main router, the repeater transmits a new WiFi network through itself, and the devices connect within this network range. Repeaters can extend the coverage of Wi-Fi signals and enhance the strength of the signal, so that areas with weak signals can also have a stable network connection.

Extenders:The extender creates a wireless network with the same SSID and password as the main router for seamless roaming. After receiving a signal from the main router, the extender expands and retransmits it, enhancing the coverage of the signal. Unlike repeaters, extenders don't create an entirely new Wi-Fi network, but instead use the same network name and password as the main router.

Built-in integrated signal amplifier:The built-in signal amplifier is mainly to enhance the signal transmission ability of the router, expand the coverage of Wi-Fi signals, improve the stability and speed of the signal, and also facilitate movement.

In addition to this, there are some tips to enhance the network signal and expand the network coverage:

Prevent wifi from rubbing the network.

Sometimes a slow network may be someone sneaking off your net! Protect your WiFi password and choose a regular and secure router.

Buy dual-band wifi.

Dual-band WiFi not only provides a faster network experience, but also effectively reduces interference, so that your network is always in the best possible condition.

Find the location of the router and achieve the best layout.

Find a location in your home** to avoid blocked signals by walls and other obstacles, and keep your internet signal everywhere!

Remember, let's only choose the right ones, not the expensive ones.
