You May Sabotage Yourselfįor a wireless connection to work well, both sides of the connection need to be able to reach each other. Extending your signal further will therefore contribute to even more interference for your neighbors.
However, the frequency band with the longest reaching signals (2.4 GHz) is also the band with the most interference / wireless "noise". You Will Sabotage Your Neighborsīy boosting the Wi-Fi signal, you can extend its reach, which sounds like a good thing. The repeater/extender simply repeats the signal from the router to create a new network that extends wireless coverage. Note that while Wi-Fi extenders or repeaters are sometimes referred to as Wi-Fi "amplifiers", there is no actual amplification of signal strength involved.
This means that the equipment you can buy will usually already be using the maximum permitted transmission strength under the law. (See Fribruksforskriften).Īny wireless device sold in a country with such laws must be approved in accordance with the local legislation.
Local laws in for example Norway clearly specify both what frequencies and which signal transmission strengths are allowed for indoor and outdoor wireless networks. Actually amplifying your router or extender's wireless signal to extend its reach runs the risk of being illegal in many countries.
