Overview
A renter or homeowner with a weak bedroom or office gets a plug-in extender that repeats the existing WiFi using the same network name. One gigabit port also wires up a console or streaming box near it.
Smart roaming on one network name means devices move around the home without manual switching. Any extender relays traffic, so speeds in the far room stay below what the router gives up close.
Who it's for
Apartments and modest homes with a single dead zone suit this extender. Big houses with many weak spots should look at a full mesh kit.
Pros and cons
- One network name for roaming
- Works with any WiFi router
- Gigabit port for a wired device
- Dual band FastLane option
- Relayed speed below router speed
- Only one Ethernet port
- Coverage area limited
Performance notes
Throughput depends on where it plugs in: too far from the router and it relays a weak signal. FastLane uses one band to talk to the router and the other for devices, which reduces the relay penalty.
