WiFi Amplifier
A WiFi amplifier (also called a WiFi repeater, extender or bridge) increases the range of your WiFi network.
You plug this device into a power outlet, connect wirelessly to your existing WiFi emitter and now get a greater range.
A WiFi amplifier is sort of an intermediate stop for your device to get to your router.
This means that half of the bandwidth is used for communication to the router and the other half to your devices.
So you have less bandwidth available than if you connect directly to your router.
Since a WiFi amplifier must communicate wirelessly with the router, it must be plugged in within range of the current WiFi network.
If the connection is too weak, you are going to experience all kinds of problems.
Despite these drawbacks, WiFi amplifiers are very popular.
Installation is very easy and one can also move the amplifier to other locations.
Conclusion
A WiFi amplifier can provide a nice solution for your WiFi network.
Picking a good location for the WiFi amplifier is essential for proper operation.
