A major problem generally arises during WiFi internet connection is that even the best routers can’t cover a big enough area. So if you want to enjoy your WiFi connection over a long area, than you can use this cool gadgets, which are generally known as WiFi Extenders.
WiFi extenders are the signal boosters, that multiply the signal send over the routing device to a wider area, both unidirectional or multidirectional.
They are mounted on our WiFi router’s antenna and boost the signal directly from the source. They also create a new Hotspot around them.
One of the biggest advantage of this Extenders are that they are not much expensive. It costs between $20 to $100 and more. So anyone who generally want to share his connection over a long distance can use them.
So today I will tell You Top 5 WiFi extenders that can extend you WiFi Range.
