Hello Linus, a better way to extend a wireless signal is tplink powerline to WiFi devices. In the Bahamas the building code is different than the U.S. and there is a lot of concrete and steel so signal falls off faster so if have a large home or home with more than one floor WiFi extenders across the home or on another floor pose a lot of complications. What I started doing years ago was using tplink WiFi over powerline. It uses the powerline as it would Ethernet connection, and you can add the WiFi transmitters thathas ethernet connections around the home where needed; also there are models with gigabit connection through the powerline. I’ve overcame many challenges over using WiFi extenders of any sort or having Ethernet cables ran for wired ap’s. Less callbacks for wireless and quick setups even with updates once all devices are connected I connect to the network and flash each device.

[@fungo6631]

God please don't use that powerline trash! It just spews out tons of RF interference!

This video disappointed me because I expected better information from you. If you wanna to extend your WiFi then buy WiFi repeater and you're done. End of story:

Real solution for most people in most situations: If you can run an ethernet cable, get a cheap wifi access point (AP). If you can't, $60-150 for a powerline access point. Avoid the all-wireless wifi extenders. You can run multiple APs (ethernet or powerline) if you have multiple dead spots, but at a certain point, look into mesh or a wired ubiquity setup.

[@AlexanderNielsen.]

well if you change the antenna to one with higher gain (like the patch) you are also increasing your EIRP so to keep it legal you would need to turn down transmission power. and thus you are back to square one. But when your phone is transmitting the router would have a higher sensitivity and thus better connection. Side note: you would have less interference from sources in the lower gain directions which could help also.

[@fungo6631]

First whenever PHD Robert Metcalfe "The Father of Ethernet" (inside joke) and I use to to talk about the most reliable way to connect a computer to a network. Wired was, and always will be the best. So when you talk to people, please advise them whenever possible to run a physical connection to the computer, or device. As "Doctor Bob" use to always say "Reliability!, Reliability!, Reliability!". Does not matter how fast the connection speed is on paper if it is not reliable. Since we no this can not always be done for me my next investment to replace my existing Netgear Orbi mesh system in our very large house is going to be a Netgear Orbi WiFI 6e system after it is out for some time, and hoping the price will come down. Next the biggest factor is placement. Think of the broadcast signal as a big bagel(-)(-) when looking for the side. Now the best place to put your WiFI router if you only have one is in the most central spot in the house you can, and NOT down on something lick an end table, or under a desk. If you can place it more than half way up the wall. WiFI extenders suck period. The cost has come down so far on KISS WiFI mess setups that if you need one now, and can not wait read the reviews. I always like to check places like C|net and Wirecutter.

Hate to be that guy, but Bluetooth isn't actually a major problem interference-wise as far as WiFi goes due to the frequency hopping built into the protocol. Wifi direct printers and smart TVs running on 2.4ghz probably cause more problems, but the best solution is usually moving your router or adding another "router" in AP mode.

I mean... there is another factor here.

Why didn't you just say the further you get away from the source the greater the bit error rate, effectivly saying the reciever has to ask more often for the packet to be re-sent because of the degraded signal? LMAO...love the baby monitor picture....

Too much info bro, i just want to know how to extend my wifi in my room.! Im not techie dude, im actually stupid about this thats why i go and check how to? Make simpler, though information is might helpful in other person, thanks

Can I use a Home-hub 2000 or Home-hub 3000 as a WiFi extender or WiFi repeater?

[@Brickiplier]

Just get a bunch of WIFI EXTENDERS around house lol i has one it works fine

[@AzzBoekie]

OK so which part is the 'on the CHEAP'-part?

[@LMcGearty]

You shouldn't have to extend it. You're paying for wifi on ur property, it should cover your whole property.

[@stumpfn4756]

Yeah keep telling that to ppl on 5 acres lol

My Linksys wifi router running DD wrt can apparently go up to 1000 mW.
