Buy WiFi repeaters - you have to pay attention to that

If you often have to deal with connection problems, the solution may be to buy a WiFi repeater to improve network reception and range. Here you can find out what to look for when buying a WiFi repeater.

You should pay attention to this when buying a WiFi repeater

1. WLAN networks are more susceptible to external interference than many think - walls, cupboards or televisions affect the originally 200-meter range of your WLAN network.
2. Especially in angled apartments, a WiFi repeater that is available from around 30 euros can be the solution to ensure better reception.
3. However, you should be aware that the WLAN repeater itself counts as a connected device and can therefore have a negative impact on the surfing speed, especially with smaller DSL connections - but usually only very slightly.
4. When buying a WiFi repeater, you should pay attention to which WiFi standard the device supports: WiFi standard 802.11n is the most common, but it also limits the transmission speed to around 150 Mbit / s if there are no other errors.
5. Newer WLAN repeaters offer a single SSID function, so that you do not have to laboriously set up and change a second virtual network.
6. The size can also be a buying factor: some devices cover several sockets, others are small and not very visually disturbing.
