There are ways to extend your WiFi signal, and most of them won’t cost a penny. Below are 5 most common but 100% working tips to strengthen your WiFi signals.
Avoid Bad Neighbors
WiFi is a radio signal itself, and interfere other signals nearby. So the signals from microwave ovens, cordless phones and even your neighbor’s wireless router may interfere. So try to steer clear of those as well.
Extend the Antenna
There are some decent booster antennas out there that you can purchase in addition to your current router to help the signal extend out further. You just plug them directly into the router base and it can give you that boost in the signal that you need. Hawking makes several types of wireless antenna boosters.
Repeaters
This little gizmo just takes in the wireless signal, boosts it up to full strength, and spits it back out again. Place the repeater within range of the router, and near the computer that needs a wireless signal. Linksys and D-Link offer wireless repeaters, also called range extenders. If you have an Apple computer, look into the AirportExpress as a signal repeater.
