If you're having issues with devices in a dead area, it may be time to install a WiFi signal booster. These devices can boost existing WiFi signals to improve your speeds, and they're easy to set up and use. All you need is an WiFi router and an outlet, as well as the direction in which you'd like to point it. Some boosters come with additional features, such as an USB port for charging wireless devices.
How do I Install a Signal Booster
A WiFi booster or range extender is a straightforward device which can be used wherever with an internet connection. It connects wirelessly to your router. It broadcasts the signal from your router to another location and allows you to connect to the network from your backyard or in your basement. Set it halfway between your router and the area where you lose the signal, and point it in that direction.
It is important to understand that even though a booster can boost internet speed, the speed provided by the internet service provider you use is not increased. This is because the speed you pay for is derived from your broadband service, and is not dependent on how far away you are from WiFi signals.
Another important thing to remember is that wireless signals are greatly hampered by water, which means water sources like a waterfall, aquarium or even drinking a cup or two of coffee can degrade your signal. Avoid this by keeping the WiFi booster and cellular amplifier from any water sources.
