![]() ![]() Coverage AreaĪccording to the manual that you receive with the SuperBoost WiFi extender, the working range for this device is 100 meters indoors and 300 meters outdoors. I have faced no issues whatsoever with SuperBoost in this regard. Almost every time, it was the ISP’s problem. Any time I experienced a fall in speed, I connected directly over my router to check if the issue was with the extender or my Internet Service Provider. With SuperBoost however, I did not notice any discrepancy whatsoever. The internet speed falls considerably over the extender. Unfortunately for me (and as I can see on other customer reviews on Amazon), this does not seem to be the case. This means that if your ISP provides internet at 100 Mbps, you should have no trouble seeing the same speed over your WiFi extender as well. The advertised speed on my device was 300 Mbps. This is something I had a problem with on NetGear. The entire setup takes less than two minutes and can be done by anyone without help.Ībsolutely impressed. This is evident as soon as you press the ‘reset’ button to initiate the setup process. The SuperBoost WiFi extender is designed specifically keeping the home internet user in mind. I would consider myself a tech nerd, and even I had to fumble around with the manual to figure the installation. One problem we had with our previous NetGear extender was that it was a little too technical for the average internet user. With NetGear, the device didn’t fit a couple of places in our house that would have been ideal to place an extender otherwise. ![]() This, we realized, is important because it makes it easy to fit the device in any power socket. ![]() It is roughly the size of a credit card with no antennas hanging out. Compact and niftyįirst off, we are really impressed with how compact the device is. We purchased a SuperBoost WiFi Extender in the last week of September and got the product delivered within three days. There is, of course, a message board you can post to, but speaking to an agent is not possible unless you pay for it. There is simply no customer support to speak of. Yet, the speed we got from the extender was significantly lower than what we observed when connected to the router directly. We set up the extender just 15 feet away from the router and could detect full signal. Even when it did, it frequently lost connectivity and this meant we had to do the setup all over again. We had trouble in getting the extender to detect our router’s signal. We have been using a NetGear product for over a year now and are not very happy customers. NetGear is one of the most popular names in the WiFi extender market. So when you place an extender around 15-20 feet from the router, you now are able to access its signal from even 40-50 feet away. They capture the signal from a router and distribute it further over a 20-30 feet radius. WiFi extenders are meant to solve this connectivity problem. But this is further reduced in a home setting. The average router can reach a distance of 20-30 feet. You may also have furniture that comes in the way of your signal and all this makes your WiFi very weak. Office spaces are large and open and this makes it easy for the router to reach your computers.īut within your homes, you have walls separating the different rooms. Most routers you get in the market are designed for office spaces. Ever wondered why none of us are happy with our internet connections? ![]()
