Smart home devices require a connection to your network, but they don’t use up a lot of bandwidth. If you have smart home devices that have trouble connecting to your network, this extender can help with that as well. It can provide a maximum of 1,000 square feet of coverage, and it can handle about enough bandwidth to stream in 4K, video chat, and download big files on a couple devices at once without a lot of slow down.
The ideal scenario for this extender is expanding a spotty wireless network into a guest room or home office where you expect to connect only a few devices at a time. It doesn’t have the range or speed offered by many of the other extenders on this list, but it’s a great option if you just need a little extra range to connect a handful of wireless devices. If you’re on a budget, the Netgear EX3700 is worth a look. Netgear EX3700 Wi-Fi Range Extender (AC750) Review Wireless Spec: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) | Security: WPA2 | Standard/Speed: AC2200 | Bands: Dual-band | MU-MIMO: Yes | Beamforming: No | Wired Ports: 1 The Nighthawk X4 includes an Ethernet port that allows you to use a network cable to connect a smart TV, game console, or anything else requiring a wired connection. If you have any devices that don’t have Wi-Fi, this extender has you covered there as well. It doesn’t have an outlet pass-through, so it does take up one outlet, but it leaves the other free. It's designed to plug directly into a wall socket, and it supports WPS push-button setup, which makes it really easy to set up and use. Realistically, your internet connection won't be this fast, but if you pay extra for a super fast connection, it's worth bearing in mind this unit will support it.
The AC2200 part of the name means it can deliver 2.2Gbps of bandwidth at once ( we've got an explanation of what that actually means here), which is enough to stream Netflix in 4K, video chat on FaceTime, and maintain a competitive edge in online games, on several devices all at once.
It’s also able to handle a lot of devices at once. This extender has a range of up to 2,000 square feet, which makes it great for extending a network to a different floor or the distant corners of a large home. This is our favorite Wi-Fi extender because it provides excellent performance and coverage for a decent price, and it isn’t too difficult to set up. If you’re happy with the overall performance of your router and just want better Wi-Fi coverage, the Netgear Nighthawk X4 will get the job done. Netgear Nighthawk X4 Wi-Fi Mesh Extender Review
