Who doesn’t wish they get WiFi signals throughout the house? Unfortunately, not all of us are lucky. if you’re an underdog like me, whose room is not just crampy but has the worst WiFi signals, then I feel for you!
The good news, a huge range of WiFi extenders are out there to save poor souls like us! What are the best ones, you ask? To save you time and effort, I am sharing with you a list of WiFi extenders that work best with a Spectrum router. You will just have to decide based on the features you need and your budget.
Let’s look at the list, shall we!
1: TP-LINK RE230
The RE230 is a budget-friendly dual-band plug-in WiFi extender that is also compatible with Spectrum modems. The device has a textured white surface that goes with practically any home decor. radio bands, signal intensity to the router, voltage, WPS button, and Ethernet (LAN port) operation are all indicated by LEDs on the extender’s front panel.
This device is an AC750 WiFi range extender that can deliver up to 300 Mbps on the 2.4GHz band and 433 Mbps on the 5GHz band. Although the signal booster has three internal antennae and can serve up to 12 devices at once, it does not enable MU-MIMO concurrent data streaming technology.
2: TP-Link AC2600
This is one of those plug-in WiFi extenders which aren’t always convenient but still worth using. With four antennae on top and three LED indicators on the front, this extender has a sleek modern style. It’s a dual-band extender with 2.4GHz and 5GHz power.
You will get around 1733 Mbps when the booster is set to 5Ghz power, and 800 Mbps when it’s set to 2Ghz power. For streaming or gaming, both these modes are accurate. You can use this booster to connect multiple devices at a time. You can watch your favorite series on Netflix while playing Apex Legends on your phone. The speed will be awesome and you won’t have to worry about buffering.
3: Netgear WiFi Mesh Range Extender EX7000
This extender resembles a little building. It has three antennae protruding from the back and can cover up to 2100 square feet. You will get a WiFi speed of up to 1900 Mbps. You can also use the mesh network to connect up to 30 devices. This makes it a perfect choice for families with multiple internet users who all can’t compromise on speed.
Setting up this mesh extender is as simple as pressing a button. One push of a button is all it takes to connect it to your internet. In my opinion, that’s the best quality of this extender, of course along with its ability to provide you with the speed you need!
4: Tenda NOVA Mesh
This WiFi Extender is what you should be looking at if you’re searching for something stylish and modern that will mix in flawlessly with your home’s surroundings.
This plug-in booster is white with grey writing and a single LED light on the bottom. The device can offer coverage up to 3750 square feet which means you can say goodbye to dead zones. Not only that, but this extender can connect up to 60 devices. It also boasts a download speed of up to 1200 Mbps, so you can play online and stream on multiple devices without missing a beat.
It’s pretty easy to set up. A great quality of this device is that the LED light on it helps you determine which is the best spot to place the extender. You can connect it with Google Home or Amazon Alexa. Tenda Nova mesh comes with an app too with advanced features like parental controls.
5: TP-Link Deco Mesh
As the name implies, this extender is meant to offer coverage for the entire house. It can support up to 100 devices. This extender has three units that work together to provide coverage up to 5,500 square feet. you will be able to enjoy buffer-free 4K streaming and online gaming thanks to this bad boy! It’s an expensive option but worth it if you have a large house with multiple users.
6: Amazon Eero Pro
Yes, Amazon has stepped into this niche too. This model features a sleek, futuristic style that nearly looks like it belongs in a cloud.
This bad boy has a tri-band frequency, including 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 5.8GHz bands. It’s capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 550 Mbps. This may not be ideal but it’s sufficient for meeting common internet activities like playing online games or binge streaming. The speed can be ignored because its range is quite decent. With a coverage area of 1,750 square feet, the WiFi extender should be able to cover any dead zones you have. Since there are better options available, I have kept it last on the list.
