Let's say you have a guest over and they want to connect to your Wi-Fi, but you're not exactly comfortable sharing the password. WPA2 and WPA3 are updated standards, with WPA3 being the current version. As the name suggests, WPA is a built-in security protocol designed to prevent someone from hacking your router. These devices often plug directly into an electrical outlet, but since they connect to your router wirelessly, you'll want to plug it in where there's still somewhat of a strong signal, otherwise there won't be much for the device to "extend." WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Sometimes also called a Wi-Fi booster or repeater, Wi-Fi extenders increase the range of your Wi-Fi signal coming from the router. The web then sends data back to your modem, which translates it for your home network and there you go, another adorable cat video.Įven the best Wi-Fi routers can only do so much. As CNET Senior Editor Ry Crist explains, " Your modem's job is to act as the translator for your home network." So if you perform an action on the internet, like clicking on a link to a cat video, that data is sent to the modem and translated into data the world wide web understands. Short for "modulator-demodulator," modems send and receive data via the internet. The benefit of a mesh system is that you can walk throughout your home with a wireless device, like your laptop or the new iPhone 13, and your device will automatically connect to the best signal output, whether that be your router or a node. Ry Crist/CNET Mesh Wi-FiĪ mesh Wi-Fi system features a router and additional nodes that boost the signal from the router throughout your home. A mesh router, like the Arris model seen here, uses multiple devices to spread a stronger signal throughout your entire home.
