Wi-Fi extenders are handy when your router can’t project a strong signal to everywhere in your home that you need it. Your internet provider may offer Wi-Fi extenders for an added monthly cost, or you can purchase one online or from most electronics retailers.

If you choose to use your own router, keep in mind that your internet provider’s tech support may not be able to fully assist you with your personal router.
