Possible solution to poor WiFi signal around the house or business.

[KhunHeineken]

Every now and then, there is another thread on TV about poor WiFi signal range and solutions to strengthen the signal and stop the black spots in the house.

 

I recently heard about this product.  I am not an IT guru, but it is not a range extender.  I believe it keeps the same SSID.  For the record, I do not own one so I can't personally comment on their performance.

The WiFi range of this product is huge.

 

They are not cheap and may not be available in Thailand for a while but could possibly be posted in.  They will probably become cheaper over time. 

 

I thought I would let members on TV know as there always seems to be threads about poor WiFi signal range.  This product may help some of you out, particularly those with a business.

It's a mesh network arrangement, similar to the recently announced Google product.

Google Wifi will be available for pre-order in the U.S. in November. It will retail for $129 for a single pack, and $299 for a three-pack at the Google Store, Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.

Personally I'd just go for Powerline adapters if you can't run a wire.

Powerline networking is the way I've set up extended Internet access over all 4 storeys of our shophouse.

I'm not an IT professional.  I heard about these and read up on them.  Their range was impressive so I thought I would post a thread about them.  I was not aware of similar products but accept there are other products that can do the job, maybe better or at a cheaper price. 

 

Just trying to help out as WiFi range issues are common threads on this forum.  In any case, I now know about the alternatives you have mentioned.
