Wifi has made our lives so much easier offering high-speed net connections that need little to no interaction and connect instantly. The range in some cases is still a problem, especially if you have thick concrete walls or appliances that disrupt the router’s range. The solution to this is of course WiFi extenders, which can extend your wireless Internet to cover blank patches in your house.

They do have their limitations when it comes to seamlessness and automatic switching. More often than not, your device will be hanging on to the single bar coverage from your main router, rather than switch to the nearby repeater. There isn’t much you can do, other than manually selecting the right connection. This can be especially frustrating when you are on a conference call and your video starts stuttering when you move away too far from the main router.
