- In this video, I’ll answer the question - what is a wifi extender? I’ll answer that question and also provide tips on what to look for when selecting a wifi extender. I’ll also review three wifi extenders that you might want to take a closer look at if you’re thinking about purchasing one. I’ll leave a link for each one in the description below.
Wi-Fi extenders, also known as Wi-Fi repeaters, are used to amplify your existing Wi-Fi signal. This helps in increasing your Wi-Fi range and ensuring it reaches every corner of your house, workplace, etc.

Thank you very helpful information
Awesome! I’m glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching! 🤓
Did I hear correctly that to increase the strength I need a repeater not an extender. I want to increase the signal to my three cameras on the side of the house. Can I just plug in the repeater in the same room as the router and get a stronger signal to each of them?
I have an external metal garage that looses signal when I'm in it if I got this and placed it by the window would I be able to get signal inside the building ?
Hello, my daughter lives in college but she have a dead zone in her room which make her hard to connect to her printer , even our video calls lack and froze every time. She have a wifi through the university which she connected. Now what will be best for her an extender? Since the connection is wifi?
Nice info, If in a building the electric sockets for transmitter and receiver are on different phases of the mains, will the extender work?
Unfortunately, your question is beyond my expertise. I apologize but thanks very much for watching the video.
If I cant get an ethernet cable from my router to my pc. Would using a wifi extender then an ethernet cable to connect my pc work and get the same results?
I think you’d be better off getting an Eero pod system. That’ll strengthen your WiFi network and reduce dead spots.
I'm interested in buying a WIFI extender! Which one do you recommend for a wireless PRINTER?
As long as your extender and printer are on the same networks, you shouldn’t have a problem. It’s not about the printer or extender. It’s about making sure they’re both on the same network.
My daughter doesn’t have a router because she’s in college and the wifi is wireless! But she have a dead zone in her room where her desk is at. What do you recommend for her to get a better wifi signal , she can connect her printer or video calls. Thanks
Hi. Google "high gain USB wifi adapter." That should help.
If the Wi-Fi is at downstairs, and I want the Wi-Fi to pass to upstairs, is it using Wi-Fi extender? Or Wi-Fi router?
An extender
So, if I have 500Mbps speed next to the wifi router and my furthest room has only 85Mbps speed then adding an extender will not boost the speed of the furthest room? What will increase the speed?
What’s worked for me has been to add an EERO Mesh system to my network. The pods do a much better job of spreading the wifi signal throughout my house. The main EERO is plugged into the router and then I have two pods (part of the set). One is upstairs in a common area and the other is downstairs in a central common area. With that setup, I always have fast connection. If you don’t want to switch to the EERO, you’ll want to make sure your router is in a central location and your extender is closer to it. I hope this explanation helps some and makes sense.
@@LetsTeach After researching all this lingo, I decided to "back-hook-up" my home's Cat5 cables. I have a cat5 outlet by the wifi router and a cat5 outlet where I want to move. So all I need to do is go to the main junction and couple those two together for a straight run to each room. Then I just use LAN like before and 500Mbps bingo! I only have to spend $35 for cat5 crimper and male ends. This should keep me good until the next generation of wifi.
@@LarryMar Nice! Glad you found a solution. I wanted to go that route. When my house was built, I made sure to include all of that. Long story but it turns out that’s one of only two things that didn’t get done properly and I realized it too late. Anyway, glad you found a fix.
If I wish to Extend and Sustain the same leve of Speed, should i get a Wifi Extender or a Repeater? Im mostly asking from a gamer's prespective. Thank you!
An extender would be better. You should look into getting an EERO system. I use it and for me, it’s way better than any extender.
How to connect
What should I do if my desk top doesn’t have internet do I get a extender?
I really wanna play in my room but my pc has like no wifi signals except for when I use a Ethernet cable connected to my router
I will like some help I get internet for neighbors and it poor how can I get it better on tv and phone
You’re getting internet from your neighbors?
Range
Speed
Connectivity
Thanks for watching!
Does the WIFI extender have it's own wifi password????
Yes it does.
@@LetsTeach what would the password be?
@@afrolintln7677 It’s usually on the device itself. That’s been my experience.
@@LetsTeach thank you so much!
Isnt a extenders that uses the same wifi but repeater creates a new one?
I think you're video is wrong
I think you should do more learning and then report back. 🤓
@@LetsTeachi just bought extender, and it extends not create a new ssid etc... so i think extender extends, repeater repeats xD english is a weird language, in my language there is very presise words for these devices and you cant get it wrong.
My router is in the back of my house and I want to put a security camera outside the front door.
Ahh ok. I’ve been in a similar situation and had to use an extender.
Add another router on front door .
I stopped listening once you said pandemic. Hogwash,
🤣 pandemic, pandemic, pandemic!!! 😜
@@LetsTeach Be the sheep, not like I care lol.
@@robertdowner2328 The fact that you replied makes me think you do care though. I’m the one who doesn’t care. I’m using your attitude towards the word “pandemic” as a little entertainment on this fine Sunday morning. Ok…let’s play again. “Pandemic!”
Ok. Now you react. Go… 😆
Bro everybody slept on this man’s videos🥱🥴
Exactly! Thanks for watching!
