3. Install a repeater or router for Wi-Fi

However, if Wi-Fi range is still limited, you will need to invest in a relay device. This can be a repeater or a router that needs to be moved away from the box without losing speed. The principle of operation of this device is simple: it collects the network and then transmits it near its installation area. It is possible to obtain such a device at hardware stores . Another recent alternative is to create a mesh network in the form of satellites placed in strategic corners of the house. Unlike the repeater that captures the network, this solution allows you to connect directly to the main router via Ethernet.
4. Use PLC power grid to extend Wifi network

There is another solution that allows you to access the Internet from any room in the house. This can be particularly effective as it routes the Internet connection through the power grid. Known as a Powerline kit, this system consists of two adapters connected to power outlets. The latter will thus create a link between the modem or box and the various connected devices in the house , such as computers, network printers, the TV decoder. The latter will thus be connected to the PLC through an Ethernet cable (RJ45). Please note that this installation is very simple and does not require any prior configuration. By simply connecting the various components, the connection is quickly established with the box.

As you may have understood, these few solutions make it easy to extend the range of the Wi-Fi connection inside the house. If your equipment is old, don’t hesitate to replace it to benefit from the latest and fastest Wi-Fi technology.
