How the Extender Works

The extender increases the distance of a WiFi network. The extender connects to your network’s WiFi signal and it broadcasts its own WiFi signal. When you are too far away to connect to your network’s WiFi signal, you can connect to an extender WiFi signal instead.

WiFi Range

Extender

Boosts the range of your existing WiFi and creates a stronger signal in hard-to-reach areas.

Existing WiFi

Sometimes your router does not provide the WiFi coverage you need.
