With everything you do online — work, shopping, gaming, streaming — your home’s Wi-Fi network might be close to critical mass — and weak in places where you need it most.
Adding a Wi-Fi extender or a mesh network will help you get a stronger signal in the far-off corners of your home. These gadgets can drastically increase your internet speeds while also extending Wi-Fi range to a second floor or basement. They can handle additional internet-connected devices, in case you’re planning to build a smart home or have more than one laptop that needs that sweet, sweet internet connection.
Just for today, Amazon has marked down top Wi-Fi extenders and mesh network routers by up to 50 percent, so you can get the most out of your home internet. Shop the deals below:
TP-Link N300 Wi-Fi Extender
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 speeds up to 300Mbps.
“This extender works great,” wrote a delighted five-star reviewer. “I recently redecorated my bedroom and moved our bed, which made it the furthest thing 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!”

NetGear
EX3700 Wi-Fi Range Extender
This NetGear EX3700 Wi-Fi Range Extender can cover 1,000 square feet with speeds up to 750 Mbps—thanks to NetGear’s ‘FastLane’ technology that provides no interference and no lag. This extender can also support up to 20 internet-connected devices, so it’s smart-home–friendly too.
“With having the entire family working from home during isolation, this has been a lifesaver,” wrote a thankful five-star reviewer. “Our signal strength dropped significantly in the halls leading to the bedrooms. Now we can all work without sitting on top of each other; five phones, four laptops, two Fire TV Sticks, two iPads all running simultaneously on this extender with no lag. And there are other smart-home devices still linked to the original router.”

TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Extender
This TP-Link AC750 Wi-Fi Extender makes short work of just about any dead zones in your home by adding an additional 1,200 square feet of range. It boosts internet speeds up to 433 Mbps and can handle 20 devices at a time. There’s even an Ethernet port built in, so you can actually create a new wireless access point with just as strong of a connection as the original source.
“Consider my mind blown. I set up the range extender in my house on the second level to support my son’s PC — he was having lag issues on Minecraft,” shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. “I wasn't expecting too much from this item, just hoping to boost the signal in the 1,500-square-foot house from the main floor to the second floor. To my surprise, not only did the TP-Link boost the signal to the second floor as desired, but it also increased my signal strength on my primary PC in the basement. I’m talking going from 3 Mbps to 44 Mbps download speeds.”

TP-Link AC1750 Wi-Fi Extender
On sale for $62 (was $100), this TP-Link AC1750 Wi-Fi Extender covers up to 2,000 square feet and can increase internet speeds up to 1,300 Mbps. It supports 32 internet-connected devices at once, so you don’t have to worry about watching Netflix in 4K and playing Xbox One X in 4K simultaneously.
“The only Wi-Fi extender that has really worked! Almost no lag and easily tripled my Wi-Fi coverage area. The speed is great — we've had a desktop and my iPad streaming HD Netflix with no lag,” shared another five-star Amazon reviewer. “Automatic connection after that point as it basically mimics your existing router so no new passwords or logging in is required.”
