Which is how you risk sitting right next to your router with a brand new laptop and still see Netflix go to "buffering". Here we give you five good reasons to steer away from repeaters – and some advice on what you can do instead. For starters, try moving your modem and router to the middle of the home. Position equipment in a central location and far away from inside walls. It should also be removed from heavy furniture like bookshelves, appliances, glass, and other obstacles.
We recommend the
Ultra WiFi Pro
as a good entry-level VPN router. As long as your Antivirus’ VPN encrypts all your traffic, it should help with throttling. Of course your speeds will be limited by the speed of your VPN, and in our experience Antivirus-owned VPN speeds are mediocre.
WiFi repeaters, boosters and extenders help you get your WiFi signal to farther rooms and levels of your home or office space. Choose what will work best for you according to the size of your space, compatibility with your router and your budget. A good repeater or a booster can cost less than $100, and can be installed in several. The D-Link DAP-1720 has three external antennas that greatly improve its coverage, and it also features a single Ethernet port for wired internet access. To set up this WiFi range extender, you need to plug it into any wall outlet and press the WPS button on your router.
