How to Choose a Stronger WiFi Booster

A product’s coverage claims alone do not guarantee better signal in your home. Antenna design, supported bands, placement, obstacles and the router connection all matter.

Usually an extender addresses coverage, not a slow internet plan or router-wide limitation. Test near the router and compare wired performance before buying.

If the signal is poor close to the router or the router lacks needed features, replacement may be appropriate. If only a distant area is weak, an extender or access point may help.

Place it where the router signal remains usable and closer to the area needing coverage. Avoid putting it inside the dead zone itself.
