Review: WiFi Range Extender

I have been needing something to boost and improve my internet connection and speed on my laptop (which I use in my room, and the WiFi router is somewhat far in the living room). My laptop receives poor connection. The bars are constantly low and unreliable even though we have Fios 100 Mbps. I am a student that regularly has to turn in tests and assignments online. This WiFi range extender has worked perfectly for me! I have been using it for a while now, and I have noticed a huge difference in the connection and speed. The signal has remained strong! I am impressed with the strength of the signal. It even sends out a signal to the driveway, which is about 35 feet away! It has created a stronger signal for my laptop; therefore, allowing it to gain better, faster speed. I no longer feel that I am running against the WiFi connection clock to turn in my assignments. It is a good idea to keep the extender plugged in somewhere in the room or near the areas where you need it (maybe the hallway), so it can pick up a good signal from your router and send it to where you need it most.

I did the speedtest several times and this is what it averaged:

With the range extender: Download 108.80 Mbps, Upload 45.14 Mbps

Without the range extender: Download 28.43 Mbps, Upload 20.63 Mbps.

You can buy this on Amazon.

Review: WiFi Adapter

This adapter was ordered for my son's laptop. Although his laptop is fairly new, it tends to be a bit slower. He does homework and research on his laptop, and he needs something faster and more reliable. The internal WiFi from his laptop is only able to pick up the 2.5GHz frequency. He is not able to pick up any signals through the 5GHz frequency, which is a whole lot faster. This adapter, which is 802.11ac, is supposed to be one of the best because it is laser beaming fast and is supposed to work very well in the 5GHz frequency. The adapter was very easy to install. Basically it is: Turn off internal WiFi, install CD, and plug adapter to USB. Then, watch the internet zoom!

As soon as the adapter was connected, the internet on this laptop was super fast! I was so surprised to see how fast this was going. I tested it on speedtest, and it downloaded at 99.49 mbps and uploaded at 73.18 mbps. It also picked up a long list of networks that are around our home. This is super fast compared to what I have seen before. Then I wanted to know how fast (or slow) the laptop's internal WiFi was, so I checked speedtest again with the internal WiFi. It downloaded at 25.47 mbps and uploaded at 13.79 mbps. This is a huge difference! This adapter works pretty awesome! I definitely like this product. It is fast and reliable, just what I was looking for. My son can now use his laptop with much higher internet speeds thanks to this adapter.
