Can anyone advise on the WiFi booster I see advertised. Has anyone bought one and they find it works as good as it says.

Too vague to answer, which booster are you talking about?

There are many and different technologies too some of which work better than others.

It's the one that keeps appearing in the content adverts. It's an overpriced overstated piece of equipment which is available everywhere else for lots less!

Summary - ignore. If you want a WiFi booster - media markt or probably carrefour - TP link make them from €20-€25 and you can get on Amazon Spain as well.

Though if want an even WiFi signal around the whole house, may be worth investing in a nest type system.

Shown one example, though there are others and ones cheaper. Just an example.

Lucky me, with ad blocking which works I'm spared such irrelvent and unwanted sales pitches!

Does anybody actually read - let alone respond - to that sort of visual spam?

Tech Discount deals WiFi repeater is on the device. I only want to know if it is possible to strengthen the signal as we have a bad connection sometimes. Can you recommend something.
Thank you for responding A N Other..
