There are good wireless routers, and then there’s not so good wireless
routers. The majority fall into the second category. Wi-Fi dead zones have
become a familiar feature that we all have to contend with. Netgear says
that is no way to live. Their Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender provides a
powerful and elegantly simple solution to this dilemma. Installation is a
breeze. If you have a power outlet between your router and your Wi-Fi dead
zone then you’re set. Once powered on, the extender finds your current
network and sends out a repeating signal, providing a potent extension of
your network.
As the name suggests, Netgear’s extender is indeed universal,
allowing for the extension of any network signal while also maintaining your
security standards. Netgear’s new Universal Wi-Fi Range Extender sells for
around $70.
