Extenders are also called as boosters as they boost the coverage area. Extenders can be used for various types of network. The areas where the range is not proper are called dead spots. Extenders are used to provide the network to these areas in the home. To setup the extender you need to visit their official website mywifiext.net.

Extenders are also called as Boosters. These extenders can be used in various types of networks and in many different situations. There can be many dead spots at your home or small offices that can decrease the range of your router. And these extenders when placed at proper position increase the range or coverage area of your router. Extenders are used with WiFi to give maximum performance.

Based on the various features of various extenders, extenders can be ideal in many different situations. The situation can be:

●    If someone wants to extend the range to the area outside his homes like yard or deck.

●    Your home is big enough or there is some obstacle in reaching those areas then extenders can be  helpful to reach at those areas.

●    You want to cover more area than your router is already providing. Basically the work of extenders is to        extend the coverage of the WiFi signal reach at far areas of your home or office.

●    A wireless connection is needed to provide an Ethernet connection to a device or multiple devices that do not have Wi-Fi, either within or outside of the main coverage area.

The Extender is the perfect solution in all the situations mentioned above. Various models of extenders are there to fit in each of the above-mentioned situations. EX6200 extender is there to cover a vast area. It uses 802.11ac standard wireless technology. The model WN1000RP is the basic model covering a small area.

Some cases are there where extenders actually do not fit right to provide the desired result for which it is built.

●   If you are connecting to a WiFi from a business providing free access to the internet nearby your home, then it does not seem to work. If that business has extenders also then it does not seems to work at all. It is called as tethering.

●    These extenders are not meant to work for the public hotspot. So if you are trying to have access through public hotspot then we are sorry you cannot even if extenders are there. (They can be used to increase available signal to Wi-Fi devices)

●    Range extenders cannot increase the native speed provided by an Internet Service Provider; this limit is determined by the ISP and the performance of the main router.

●    We cannot connect an extender with another extender. We can connect several extenders to the same wireless connection to extend the range up to some extent. The need is the main source of connection should be same. To Know More Click  Here - Mywifiext.net
