WiFi extender

[Candystore]

Help please

My mom (an elderly lady) signed a WiFi contract with Vodacom. She got a router, everything is successfully connected and up and running. However, she does not have reception in the furthest part of her house.

Is there a way in which Vodacom can boost the signal or does she absolutely have to get a Wi-Fi extender?

Is there a better or worse brand of extender to shop for?

Once she has the extender is it simply a plug n play situation or does it have to be connected to the Wi-Fi router somehow in order for it to function?

Thanks

Move the router closer, or buy another router and extended it to the room.

Jammer. In this case as they are using Vodacom they deserve the use of a WiFi extender.

Not an option to move it.

I was being kind. My usual advice is to moer WiFi extenders stukkend using a hammer.

Why? That is her only reasonable option.

Cause they are generally crap, can you run a cable from the other one through the roof into the other room?

Vodacom branding on the front.

Why specifically this one compared to other options? Asking from a layperson's perspective.

Because he only supports certain brands and nothing else, no matter what it is. You cannot get this old man to try new things, he is 100% stubborn

My parents had one and it worked fine. They're all the same difference.
