Wi-Fi extenders are great for eliminating specific wireless dead spots, for giving your Wi-Fi signal a little more range to reach that far room or giving your Wi-Fi a little oomph to make it to the next floor. A Wi-Fi extender is the perfect solution if you have one room or one section of your house where the internet always seems to cut out. If your existing Wi-Fi router is able to adequately cover most of your house, you may not necessarily need to buy a new one. With so many options for upgrading your home network, like getting a new router or a mesh router, or adding a Wi-Fi extender or powerline extender, how do you know which is the best option for you?

Read our full NexusLink Wireless Gaming Bridge WB-1750 review. If you need a way to get a better connection to your game consoles and don’t want to run an Ethernet cable across your house, the NexusLink Wireless Gaming Bridge might be just what your gaming setup was missing. In our testing, the NexusLink Wireless Gaming Bridge was able to deliver 143.2 Mbps at 10 feet but it does have a longer range of 110 feet. At the front, there are seven LEDs that show its connection status and both devices are meant to be placed vertically as opposed to horizontally. The NexusLink Wireless Gaming Bridge is much larger than other plug-in Wi-Fi extenders and each unit has its own power supply. Still, two units are required and the devices you connect need to be hardwired over Ethernet. It was easy to set up and provided excellent range despite being the only device on this list still using Wi-Fi 5. The NexusLink Wireless Gaming Bridge WB-1750 is a bit of an outlier as it acts more like a wireless cable to connect Ethernet devices to a router than a traditional Wi-Fi extender.

Read our full D-Link Eagle Pro AI E15 Wi-Fi extender review. If you want a budget Wi-Fi extender that gets the job done, the D-Link Eagle Pro AI E15 is a great choice. The D-Link Eagle Pro AI E15 also comes with an app that offers some areas for customization but its Statistics page provides you with a lot of information about your network. However, its performance falls behind others on this list and in our tests, it was only able to move 205.5 Mbps of data at 10 feet.

The D-Link Eagle Pro AI E15 also has a gigabit Ethernet port for connecting wired devices but no USB port.īesides AI, this Wi-Fi extender uses beamforming, MUMIMO and 1024 QAM modulation to extend the signal from your Wi-Fi router. Its engine continually scans both the 2.4- and 5GHz bands for congestion which is perfect in areas with lots of Wi-Fi networks like in an apartment building. The D-Link Eagle Pro AI E15 is a compact Wi-Fi extender that uses artificial intelligence to steer data to the least used channels. Read our full Linksys RE7310 Wi-Fi extender review.

If you want a Wi-Fi extender with good all-around performance that’s easy to get its placement just right, this might be the one for your home network. In our tests, the Linksys RE7310 was able to move 322.4 Mbps at 10 feet and its Spot Finder technology helped us set it up in the perfect spot. However, it lacks both Ethernet and USB but it does have a WPS button at its side for quickly connecting wireless devices. The Linksys RE7310 can connect with up to 20 clients at once and just like the other top Wi-Fi extenders on this list, it uses the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology including MUMIMO, beamforming and 1024 QAM modulation. However, there’s no way to turn this LED off nor is there a startup and configuration app to get it set up, you need to use a connected browser instead. Instead, its antennas are hidden inside its case while a single LED bar near the top lets you know the status of its connection. The Linksys RE7310 is a plug-in Wi-Fi extender that goes without movable antennas for a more compact design despite still being rather bulky.
