Working from home can present many challenges - excited pets, noisy kids and spotty internet just to name a few. While we can’t prevent your kids from interrupting calls or your pets from causing trouble, there are some convenient technological fixes that can make it easier to stay on task while you’re working from home.

If WiFi connectivity has been an issue, one simple solution is to look into a range extender that will help improve your signal throughout the house. No matter whether you’re planning to keep cool by working in the basement or planning to take your laptop outdoors, one bestselling WiFi extender can easily transform any area of your home into a workspace.

What shoppers are saying

Backed by over 38,000 reviews on Amazon worldwide, this WiFi extender has earned a solid reputation as an affordable and easy to use device.

“This little box was such a necessity in our house! It was super easy to set up and use,” shared one five-star reviewer. “Plug it into an outlet about half way between your wifi and where it will extend to. Two minutes to set up online and BINGO that's it! Super fast with our wifi speed of 60mbps.”

“My router was in the basement and I have always had trouble getting signal to the third floor,” shared another. “I set this thing up in a couple minutes... and wow I can truly say my internet has been given a new life. I also now have great internet in my backyard and all over my property.”

Many reviewers have shared that while this WiFi extender does work for certain connections, it’s not the best when paired with 5G technology.

“Our router is in the basement and the WiFi signal just wasn't strong enough in the main bedroom that’s upstairs on the opposite side of the house. Now we have a great signal everywhere we use devices. Keep in mind that this doesn't not work with 5GHz systems. Luckily my router does 2.4 and 5 GHz,” noted one reviewer.

The verdict

For a quick fix to WiFi connection problems, the Netgear N300 WiFi Range Extender may be a simple and affordable solution. It’s important to take a look at your existing network though, since depending on the configurations of your router you may need to choose a different model.

Luckily, Netgear also offers a range of more powerful devices, but they do come along with an increase in price.
