If so, you might need a range extender. A mesh system could fix the problem, but that requires replacing your entire network. Instead, get a Wi-Fi range extender to improve the existing setup you already have, that way you can work or stream Netflix from any room in the house.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Look_for_in_a_Wi-Fi_Range_Extender\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_lookfor\">What to Look for in a Wi-Fi Range Extender<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As the name suggests, a range extender picks up your router\u2019s Wi-Fi signal, then uses additional power and more antennas to boost the signal even further. Typically, the terms \u201cWi-Fi extender,\u201d \u201cbooster,\u201d and \u201crepeater\u201d all mean the same thing, with extender being the most popular name.\u00a0Basically, it\u2019s a mini router you can strategically plug into the wall wherever it\u2019s needed most, then reap the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>A Wi-Fi range extender is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/714781\/wi-fi-extender-vs.-mesh-network-whats-the-difference\/\">different than a Mesh Wi-Fi system<\/a>, which is a slightly newer technology. With an extender, instead of buying all new gear, you simply add a boost to your current home internet setup.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Speed &amp; Specs:\u00a0<\/strong>When looking for a range extender, you\u2019ll want to choose something that matches (or exceeds) your current Wi-Fi router.\u00a0If you have a dual-band AC1200 router, get at least a dual-band AC1200 extender. That way, the extender isn\u2019t bottlenecking the system any more than it has to. Or, if you happen to own a Wi-Fi 6 router, get a Wi-Fi 6 extender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Range: <\/strong>Typically, extenders under-deliver on promises, but you\u2019ll still want to pay attention to the suggested increase in range. When it says it\u2019ll cover a 2,000-sq. ft. house, don\u2019t expect a miracle, but definitely get an extender offering enough range for your situation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Price: <\/strong>Finally, choose something that will fit your needs without being too expensive. If you consider spending too much on an extender, you might as well switch to a whole-home Mesh setup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Overall_Netgear_Nighthawk_X4\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_overall\">Best Overall:\u00a0Netgear Nighthawk X4<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76167 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/04\/fdbe20b4.jpg\" alt=\"Netgear X4 range extender\" width=\"1696\" height=\"1102\" data-credittext=\"Netgear\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Netgear<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01D6JEMWS?tag=reviewgeek-20\">Netgear Nighthawk X4<\/a>\u00a0(EX7300) is the best overall Wi-Fi range extender for several reasons, even if it\u2019s a little pricey. It\u2019s one of the fastest plug-in extenders around delivering stable AC2200 speeds, supports\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/242793\/what-is-mu-mimo-and-do-i-need-it-on-my-router\/\">MU-MIMO<\/a> technology to stream to several devices in your home, has four internal antennas, covers over 2,000 sq. ft., and has an ethernet port to hardwire something like a game console or PC.<\/p>\n<p>We also love the X4\u2019s smart roaming feature. Most range extenders don\u2019t use the same Wi-Fi network name as what\u2019s already in your house and instead have an \u201cExt\u201d at the end. As a result, devices will disconnect from your main router and connect to the extender as you move around your home. With the Nighthawk X4, that doesn\u2019t happen. It\u2019s all one fast, smooth, seamless experience.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Most_Future_Proof_TP-Link_AX1500\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_future\">Most Future Proof:\u00a0TP-Link AX1500<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<figure style=\"width: 1710px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-76176 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2021\/04\/177ef727.jpg\" alt=\"TP-Link WiFi 6 Range Extender\" width=\"1710\" height=\"1110\" data-credittext=\"TP-Link\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">TP-Link<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another solid option and a great Wi-Fi range extender that\u2019s a little more future-proof is the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/WiFi-6-Range-Extender-Booster\/dp\/B088H2FCHL\/?tag=reviewgeek-20\">TP-Link AX1500<\/a>.

And with tri-band backhaul, the X6 uses one band for communicating with the main router, leaving both the 2.4 and 5Ghz bands free for 4K video streaming, gaming, and more from any area of the house.
