With all of us hunkering down, your home’s Wi-Fi network might be close to critical mass—and weak in places where you need it most.
But there’s a solution to your Wi-Fi woes: The TP-Link N300 Wi-Fi extender—especially now that it’s on sale for just $18—40 percent off—at Amazon. It’s so popular that it has earned a perfect five-star rating from more than 42,000 reviewers.
And if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
Keep it all in range
This TP-Link N300 Wi-Fi Extender does exactly what you’d want it to do—it extends your home’s Wi-Fi network. This comes in handy if you live in a big house or apartment and your router is on one side of your home and you want a stronger signal on the other. This little guy can cover up to an additional 800 square feet, while also delivering up to 300Mbps of internet speeds.
“This extender works great,” wrote a delighted five-star reviewer. “I recently re-decorated my bedroom and moved our bed, which made the distance the furthest in the house from my router. I was seeing one bar on my iPad. I located the extender five feet from my bed and boom, I had full bars!”
Small, but mighty
Here’s how it works: Just plug the TP-Link N300 Wi-Fi Extender into a wall outlet near where you’d like to get a signal boost and sync it to your home’s Wi-Fi network. And that’s it. Your home’s Wi-Fi signal will effectively bounce off this device’s antennas to give you a strong and healthy signal on another floor or in the far corners of your home.
“I live in a large apartment—the modem is in my bedroom and the signal in the living room isn’t strong enough to be reliable, so I use an extender,” added a satisfied shopper. “The extender was easy to install and was soon up and running. I now have a very strong signal in the living room and throughout the apartment.”
Bottom line
At $18 (was $40), you can say goodbye to internet dead zones. This TP-Link N300 Wi-Fi Extender will turn your whole home into one large online hotspot for nearly all of your internet-connected devices.
“Finally! Wi-Fi everywhere! I now have Wi-Fi in every room in the house,” shared a happy Amazon reviewer.
