The goal is to achieve a better coverage at home. Maybe you have an area where the signal is very weak and you cannot connect correctly. This can happen due to being too far from the router, due to interference or simply because the network card is limited and does not allow the signal to reach it correctly.
Wi-Fi repeaters
The first option that we usually use when we need improve Wi-Fi network, is to use wireless repeaters. An example is this Devolo, with a speed of up to 1200 Mbps. It is a device that can come in handy to boost the signal in a specific area. It is dual band, you can easily configure it through the application and it should be noted that it has an Ethernet port, so you can connect devices via cable as well.
An alternative is this TP-Link RE505X, with a 25% discount on its original price. It is compatible with Wi-Fi 6, it has dual band, a Gigabit Ethernet port for maximum cable speed and great compatibility so you can connect any type of device you need to the network and have a good connection.
Another TP-Link on offer is this RE700X. It is a dual band device, compatible with Wi-Fi 6, Gigabit port and great compatibility with routers. It is a good option to be able to have a wireless connection in a specific area of the house, where the coverage may be weaker. You will not have speed problems.
mesh systems
To cover a large area at home, a great option is the Mesh systems. There are several devices or satellites that you are going to distribute in different parts of the house. Unlike a repeater, they do not connect directly to the router but to each other. This will allow the signal to reach further, so you can cover a larger area.
This system Mesh Linksys WHW0302 allows to cover an area of 350 square meters. It is a pack of two AC2200 devices, with Ethernet ports, configuration through a mobile application and is a good option to view streaming content in 4K without cuts.
You can also opt for this three-satellite Mesh Wi-Fi system ASUS Zen WiFi. They have Wi-Fi 6 technology, dual band, simple configuration and a maximum coverage that exceeds 600 square meters. It has Ethernet ports, so you will be able to connect wired devices and thus have greater stability.

- Tenda Nova MW5c: Mesh system with two satellites, dual band, app remote control and two Gigabit Ethernet ports.
PLC devices
A third option to improve the wireless network at home is PLC devices. They differ from the previous ones, since in this case they will be connected through electrical wiring. There are two devices: one you connect to the router and a socket, while the second you connect to another socket.
You can take advantage of these devices D-Link DHP-601AV that are on sale. They have a Gigabit Ethernet port, so you can connect wired equipment and achieve maximum speed. They are Plug and Play and have great compatibility. You can place it in the place where you need to have a better Internet connection.
Other PLC devices that you can find on sale are these AVM Fritz! 1260E. They have a Gigabit Ethernet port, to be able to connect wired devices and have a good speed. The maximum speed they offer is 1200 Mbps, so you can take advantage of the fiber optic rate you have contracted and connect devices of all kinds.
As you can see, these are some options to improve the Internet connection at home. We have seen PLC devices, wireless repeaters, and Mesh systems. You will be able to watch 4K videos without interruptions, as well as download at a higher speed and not have problems with coverage.
