One of the more popular solutions to fix your WiFi problems are WiFi extenders. However, there are plenty of recommendations against using WiFi extenders, and they have a bad rap in some IT circles. Part of the reason for this is simple: A WiFi extender isn't a cure-all for WiFi issues. Sometimes running a cable is a better solution.

The key is knowing what wireless problems you need to solve and selecting the right tool for the job. We'll look at how WiFi extenders work, the different types of extenders, and the use cases where using one might make sense.
