For this reason, a lot of us need to rely on WiFi extenders to receive the signal from the router, which is then pushed forward towards the client devices that were either connected at a low data transfer rate or were so far off, that they had no signal whatsoever. But, when you use a WiFi extender, it is because you either hate to have Ethernet cables in your house or it’s just too costly to install new ones (retrofitting an old house). But can this logic be applied to the WiFi extenders as well? From an aesthetic point of view, I guess so.

But why do you actually need it? Let me give you an example about a networking device that has gradually removed its Ethernet ports, leaving a single one for PoE purposes and I am talking about the ceiling-mountable wireless access point.Īnd I guess it’s a sensible decision considering that the users won’t like having cables hanging down from the ceiling towards a client device. Allows double the amount of devices to be connected wirelessly while maintaining your current WiFi speeds.I have had the chance to test several dedicated WiFi extenders and have configured a few access points to work as WiFi extenders as well and yes, all had at least one Ethernet port.Improves WiFi signal strength by ten times against the current generation of WiFi expanders.In Tests carried out by our partner the Epic WiFi Extender: The means that the Epic WiFi Extender can easily be installed, in most cases at the touch of a button.Ĭurrent extenders are required to be plugged into a power socket and as such can be affected by any devices plugged into your home power supply and over time interference through power connections will degrade a WiFi expanders life-span.

You can move throughout your home and all your devices will automatically connect with the strongest and fastest WiFi signal strength seamlessly.Įpic WiFi Extenders can be connected to a modem wirelessly with WPS, what does this mean? You do not need to reconnect or setup your devices to the expanded network, they will connect automatically once the Epic WiFi Extender is setup. Benefits of the Epic WiFi Extender compared with a traditional WiFi extenderĮpic WiFi Extender projects the same WiFi ID as the modem, what does this mean?
