Wifi network is another most common network widely used today. It is commonly found in airports, banks, malls, etc. I had seen many people prefer to setup a wifi network in their office rather going with traditional cable connection which adds cost to hardware. Wifi are a better and cheaper alternative for your own personal network. The best example I can give is of Universities which uses encrypted network and publish hotspot. Public hotspot is a kind of free internet zone where users can just connect without providing any authentication while encrypted needs permission before accessing the network. After a couple of incident which has affected public security all networks are encrypted. It is the best practice to follow. Wifi are common network and can be hacked if not secured properly. Today, routers come with inbuilt firewall support and other than this there are tons of third party security tools which can do this work. Now the issue appears when you are setting up a wifi in your office and users are not able to access the network after a particular range.
To fix this out your are advices to setup another device at a distance. This device can be a another router or your personal lan setup. But why to go for complicated procedure if you have devices like wi-fi boosters. This boosters are specially designed to extend your wifi range from the existing limit. They not only increase the wifi range but also offer you to extend your wifi network beyond your regular limits. Anyhow I recommend going for a wifi booster instead of setting up a new device and then interconnecting them to share my internet.
Other than sharing the wifi it is also recommended that you must do this on a high speed internet connection. Because once the connection is accessed and shared by many there are possibilities that some of the user will face low speed. So it is also important to keep in mind that you should use a good net connection. A wifi network is helpful everywhere. In your home, office, factory, institute, etc. It removes the issue of connecting a device with cable to the network. The user just needs to turn on the wifi on his device and share data. There are some easy points which I had listed below. This points are helpful to boost wifi signals. Other than this I had listed some of the top models below which will help you to determine a better wifi signal. Boosters are not costly but a good add-on for your existing network. They are equipped with better broadcasting hardware which boosts the network to higher range. Have a look on the below list.
