WLAN repeater test 2023
WLAN has long since become the standard when it comes to digital networks. Mobile devices like Tablets or Smartphones would not be fully usable without wireless connections. For this reason, many households have one suitable WLAN router. In your own four walls, however, there are always annoying dead spots because the range of the WLAN is reaching its limits.
Above all, the walls and floor panels interfere with the signal and lead to a lack of reception. In most cases, you can easily solve this problem with a WiFi repeater. However, the many terminology related to frequency bands and radio patterns can be confusing when looking to buy a WiFi repeater. In our WiFi repeater test, we present you with the best models and explain what you need to look out for when buying a WiFi repeater. In addition, we will answer many more questions about the wifi range extender.

We will also explain to you exactly how a WLAN repeater works and for whom such a device is actually suitable. After you have read through our guide, your purchase should no longer stand in the way....
What is a WiFi repeater and what is it good for?
WiFi is now the standard for connecting different devices to the internet. These are typically mobile devices like a Smartphone, a tablet or a laptop that does not require a wired connection to the router. Modern routers therefore transmit a radio signal that makes a cable connection superfluous. Depending on the router and local conditions, the devices can connect to this wireless network from a distance of approx. 30 to 100 meters. However, walls, doors or ceilings can significantly limit autonomy, especially indoors.
This leads to so-called dead zones, where no WiFi signals are received. But even in the garden and on the terrace, the reception of the WLAN signal is often not optimal, since the walls of the house on the one hand and the trees and bushes on the other hand interfere with the signal. With a wireless repeater you avoid these dead zones. The repeater picks up the signal from the router, amplifies it and sends it out. You can install a stable Wi-Fi network throughout the house and, if necessary, in the garden and on the terrace.
For example, you can work undisturbed in the garden without the WiFi connection being weak and with just a small device that you plug into the socket.
What is a so-called Mesh Repeater?
One speaks of a WLAN mesh system when WLAN routers can automatically transfer your WLAN access data to connected mesh repeaters. Almost all primary mesh routers can at least copy your WiFi network name alias SSID and your WiFi key, i.e. the WiFi password, to other WiFi radio stations with a click. That's very comfortable
How does a WiFi repeater work?
The wireless repeater (also called amplifier or beach extender) to put it simply, strengthens your WLAN signal. This way you can positively influence the range and get a WiFi signal throughout the house. The wifi range extender picks up signals from both the router and the router and sends them out more intensively.
The repeater thus creates its own WLAN network. This means that devices in the range of the repeater will have good reception even if they are already outside the range of the router. Since the Wi-Fi networks of the wireless LAN range extender and the wireless router have the same name and password, you don't need to change the network manually.
Your device will automatically search the network with the strongest signal, making sure you're always connected to Wi-Fi. In some cases, your device may not automatically switch to the new network. In this case, you have to switch manually with a few clicks.
How much does a WiFi booster cost me?
WLAN amplifiers have a big advantage, because with the help of a repeater you can strengthen the WLAN signal a lot and thus good WLAN reception is also possible in the garden. The best part is that such a device doesn't cost much either. A good WLAN repeater is available from around 15 euros and it also fulfills its purpose. If you want a WLAN connection up to 13000 MBit/s per second, you have to spend a little more money. Such an amplifier can then also cost around 60 euros.
For whom is a WiFi booster suitable?
A WiFi repeater is suitable for anyone who wants a full connection to the WiFi network of their house, apartment and / or property. Disturbances in the WLAN range are not only at home or in large apartments. This is often due to structural aspects.
Even in small two-bedroom apartments, for example, you may have little or no mediocre WiFi in the living room wherever your favorite chair is. However, the issue of WiFi coverage is even more likely if you live in a multi-story home.
The WiFi router is often located on the ground floor and upstairs, the upper floor ceiling only sends a weak WiFi signal or no WiFi signal. Even on the balcony or terrace or in the garden areas, WiFi reception is often only mediocre. A WiFi repeater that intercepts and amplifies the router signal offers just the right solution to these problems. It also offers a stable WiFi signal in residential, living and business areas that were previously out of range of the router.
