A Netgear WiFi repeater (also called wireless range extender) takes the internet signals from your existing wireless router or access point (AP) and rebroadcasts it to create a second secure and powerful network. Businesses or homeowners use a repeater to extend the broadcast range of their existing WiFi networks, thus improving the signal strength and enabling devices that are outside the range of your router.
But hold on! Not all WiFi routers are capable of providing the internet range everywhere in your house or workplace. In order to get the internet range in every nook and cranny of your house – you must acquire a Netgear WiFi range extender (also known as a wireless repeater).
Netgear extender setup keeps your computer, laptop, tablet, mobile devices, Bluetooth speakers, etc. connected to a secure WiFi with a fast, reliable, and active internet connection always.
