WiFi Boosters for TVs: Improve a Weak Streaming Connection

It may help if the TV is in a weak-coverage area and the extender has a solid connection to the router. It will not fix a broadband outage or a slow connection affecting the whole home.

If the extender has an Ethernet port and its manual supports wired client devices, a short cable from extender to TV can be convenient. The extender’s link back to the router still affects performance.

No special Now TV model is required. The streaming device needs a reliable connection to your home network, so choose equipment compatible with your router and place it appropriately.

Place it between the router and TV, where it still receives a good router signal. Avoid putting it directly behind the television or inside a cabinet if that blocks its signal.
