Background

Poor WiFi signals are because of the presence of materials in your place which block the signals of WiFi. These materials can be thick concrete walls, metals, doors, furniture, etc. These things make the WiFi signals weak. One method to improve WiFi signals in this situation is to relocate your WiFi router to an open place. Sometimes this technique doesn’t work,. Not everyone has an open place for e.g., in a hotel where multiple people are using the internet from the same device, you cannot move the router to a place where you will get good signals for your device.

INTRODUCTION

A wifi booster amplifies weak signals in places where wifi signal hardly reaches, so it boosts signal and makes it accessible to every location at your workplace or home where a signal reaches. This helps us to not sit in front of a wifi router for working rather we can sit at a distant place for e.g bedroom and can use wifi booster to use the internet easily.

A wifi booster simply connects to the wifi router wirelessly and then amplifies the signals received by the router. It increases the coverage area of the existing wifi signal by boosting it. We should place the wifi booster at an area where the signal strength is weak so that we can monitor its effectiveness. There is no point of placing the wifi booster where the signals are already very strong. Now the point comes how to connect your wifi booster to your mobile phone or laptop. For that purpose, go to the wifi settings on your mobile or laptop and connect to the wifi booster network. This way, we can connect our mobile devices with wifi booster and enjoy a good internet connection at our own suitable place.

A COMMON MYTH?

Wifi boosters just boost the signal where it is weak. They cannot increase the speed of the wifi signals. The speed is constant according to the wifi package that you have bought.
