Best Wifi Extender Singapore

A traditional home in Singapore usually incorporates a wifi system that consists of a single centralised point such as the router which receives the internet and distributes it over a single wireless signal. Devices are then able to connect to this particular wifi signal thus granting them internet access but what happens when the wifi is unable to cover the entire area?

With a wifi extender on hand, this grants the ability to spread the range over a much wider zone. In its name, a wifi extender works by receiving internet connection via wireless signal and extending it through a different channel. However unlike a mesh set-up, a wifi extender is not self healing and is very dependent on its source.  A wifi extender is easy to find and can be bought in tech stores all over Singapore. Most models for a wifi extender are typically affordable and easy to set-up too. Here our are picks for the 5 best companies you can purchase a wifi extender from.

Note: This list is strictly not in order.

1. Nokia

Nokia has been in business for more than a century and a half, making it one of the oldest tech companies to exist. It is currently engaged in the communications, public, consumer, and licensing sectors. The organisation has reported an estimated 22 billion euros in sales during the year 2020 and operates in approximately 130 countries. It is one of the few organisations to be able to have won a Nobel prize and yet the company has continued to been handed this prestigious award more than one occasion at a grand total of 9 times and counting.

The wifi extender provided by Nokia is meant for home use and is simple to set-up. It is also claimed to be stabler compared to other brands when it comes online gaming performance.

Asus is a brand most closely linked to its advancements in the gaming industry with motherboard, laptop, and gaming products constantly featured at the top of the charts. The company was founded on 1989 and headquartered in Taiwan however it was able to establish its popularity in other continents such as North America by being able to provide quality products which had received numerous positive reviews from its consumers.

The wifi extender built by Asus is easy to use with a configuration requiring only the press of a button which removes the hassle of set-ups through external sources such as  a CD or USB. Its simplicity does not refer to weak performance as the extender was designed to eliminate dead spots even in hard to access points of the house.

5. Xiaomi

One of the few notables of the company is that it is publicly listed and traded in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It is stated by the organisation itself that Xiaomi’s “MI” company logo stands for multiple different meanings, the first one of course being an acronym for mobile internet as Xiaomi had an initial focus of delving into the mobile industry wherein they produced quality smartphones at competitive price points. The second one can be translated to mission impossible as the organisation has been shrouded with a great number obstacles which Xiaomi eventually overcame especially during the founding of the company more than a decade ago.

Not restricted to the mobile sector, Xiaomi branched out to other segments including the production of a wifi extender. Their wifi extender is affordable and easy to use showcasing their company which emphasises on positive user experience.

Conclusion

It is not an uncommon thing for a businessman or homeowner in Singapore to experience a limited range in their wifi set-up. After all, a basic router is only able to spread over so little of an area and can be met with physical obstructions in architecture. Should individuals based in Singapore be faced with the same challenges and are interested in seeking an affordable solution, the use of a wifi extender is a viable option and easy to procure from stores nationwide.
