My home is multiple stories, made of WiFi blocking materials (Brick) and the router is in the basement. Many sources suggest smaller homes (under 2000 sq feet) may not get much benefit out of a mesh system. This was somewhat noticeable with streaming Netflix on the Roku device. Thus, I found that my signal would stretch, but I would sacrifice strength/speed. Extenders work to enhance the signal of my Wifi by essentially taking in the signal and then creating its own network. I have 2 major dead spots, my bedroom (specifically my bed) and my second-floor children’s room (no Roku connection). Ideally, we would place them centrally, but alas, mine is downstairs and adjacent to a brick wall. My router, like many in America, are forced to place the router at the source of the Broadband connection, an outside wall. Unfortunately, my home is 2 story, plus a basement, brick home. I have tried numerous WiFi extenders, with some positive and negative feelings. It is amazing how powerful WiFi routers have become and yet I seem to have dead zones throughout my own home. It is not uncommon to traverse a mall, a business or even a residential block and your phone WiFi tries to connect to multiple different sources. Along the same idea, who would have thought that one of the most important utilities in our lives would be our internet connection. I do not think that many of us born in the 1980-1990’s thought that we would one day have a home without a land line. It does not seem that long ago that pay phones were readily available and everyone had to have a land line. A convenient, instant setup with an app controlled network.
