Extend your Wifi range

A very cheap way to extend your Wifi range!

My wireless access point sits down one end of the house, and getting a decent signal is very difficult in all areas of the house. I’ve tried a few different antennas with little or no difference - a complete waste of money. My solution was to add another AP so I had coverage over the whole house.

I have read of a few other (cheap) options. Found one on youtube which looks worth trying …..

I have not yet tried it, but in theory it should work by making the signal more directional/pointed.

Let me know your thoughts and if you’ve had any success.

    The best cure for wifi drop I have come across is a cat 5 LAN Cable
