What is a WiFi extender?

A sound internet connection is essential for life in this day and age. What is a WiFi extender. Birmingham, AlabamaWe need it for our phones, tablets, computers, and even our televisions. A strong WiFi connection is vital to stay in touch, work, learn, and stay informed of what is happening in the world. The world has gone virtual, and there is no going back.

Sometimes it gets incredibly daunting when there is a weak signal or none at all. The internet is supposed to make our lives easier. However, sometimes it can be the source of frustration. If you are working and this happens, your hard work could be lost, or you may spend all day trying to get things done on a weak internet connection. The internet is supposed to make our lives easier, right? A bad WIFI network could hit you hard in your pocketbook.

You may also find your self with a slow network if there are multiple users on it simultaneously or if you are far away from the main router. There are several ways to combat this problem: you could opt to pay more and get a better internet package or save a little and invest in a WiFi extender.

Also referred to as a WiFi booster or repeater, a WiFi extender does just what the name implies; it extends your network's range across your home or office. The extender can essentially double your coverage to create a stronger signal in places you may not have had before; it can even make your WIFI stronger in your yard.

A WIFI repeater is also a great option if you want a more robust signal for movie streaming and online gaming. Multiple users can now get online with ease with a faster, stronger connection in every corner of your home. The kit is easy to set up and usually just involves plugging it in connecting it, and you are ready to go.

Whether the issue is large or small, problems with electricity are often ignored until they become apparent.  It's easy to avoid thinking about problems that can occur in our appliances, circuit breakers, wall outlets, and even light bulbs. But often, ignoring issues while they are small leads to more significant problems and the necessity for the help of an electrician.

What others say about John's Electric Service

My Mother recently came to live with me, and I needed a fan installed in her west-facing room, to keep it cool in the guest room. I had to wait a little bit, but it was worth it. The price was reasonable, I could tell he was conscientious and he made an extra effort to do as much as he could while he was here - including going down through a difficult attic to install, so the wires would not show. Highly recommend. He came with his grandson and they worked a few hours. Hoping to get him back soon for some more work. Thank you, John!

What a pleasure it was dealing with Aubrey of John's electric! We had a breaker that would not reset. Aubrey arrived at our house at exactly the time he said he would. He had the problem diagnosed in under a minute and had us back to normal with all of our garage outlets in under 5 minutes. I know that all service calls can't go that quickly, but he sure found the problem right away and got it fixed immediately. I would strongly recommend this company.
