Advice please - how to boost wifi around the house

Recommended Posts

We have virgin broadband which is fine, except we have some black spots in the house with little or no signal. I have a couple of net gear extenders which are ok but don't solve the problem. I suspect technology has moved on since we bought them a few years ago - does anyone have any advice about which extenders are the best? I have trawled through lots of conflicting advice and reviews on techie websites and tbh I a dunce when it comes to these things


thanks in advance!

See if you can get a few mesh devices as the give a seamless extension and use each other to try and remove dead spots in your house.


Depending on the size of your house, wall construction and thickness will depend on how many mesh devices you will need.


I found this guide from PC mag to different models quite useful but do your own research first is a good piece of advice.

I've been using basic powerline adaptors for several years. They piggyback on your mains wiring anduse ethernet connections. The latest ones seem to offer a wifi transmitter as well. https://www.tomsguide.com/uk/face-off/powerline-extenders-vs-wi-fi-signal-boosters
