If your wireless Internet (WiFi) performance is not satisfying your needs, then you need to boost it. You can do this with WiFi signal boosters.
WiFi signal boosters and WiFi boosters mean the same thing. They are the devices that you use to help out your home network. Specifically, they work with your router, since it is the device that controls your WiFi connection. All WiFi signal boosters extend the coverage of your WiFi in a different way.
Types of WiFi signal boosters
There are a few types of WiFi boosters. They are WiFi repeaters, WiFi range extenders, WiFi network extenders, and WiFi mesh. Here is a link to the article where we cover what they do and the difference.
But here is a quick guide on what you need to know:
- WiFi repeater or WiFi range extender – a device the re-broadcasts the same quality of WiFi signal that it receives. You place this device between your router and the hard to reach area. “WiFi repeater” and “WiFi range extender” are often used as interchangeable terms.
- WiFi network extenders– a device that is similar to a range extender but with slightly more flexibility. Instead of creating a second network to extend coverage, they re-broadcast without impacting the network’s bandwidth output.
How a WiFi booster makes your WiFi better
WiFi boosters make your WiFi better by making the signal reach farther. This means that no matter where you are in your home (upstairs, downstairs, a distant back room, attic room, garage, or yard) you get the exact same reliable connection. No dead zones.
But this only works if your WiFi signal is already strong and reliable. Your router needs to be transmitting a strong signal so that the boosters can carry that same strong signal throughout your home. That’s why it’s important to invest in equipment that will serve you the high-performing network you are looking for.
