RangeXTD is gaining a lot of traction. Some good, some bad. But as with every tech product out there, you really won’t know until you try it out for yourself. I’ve been on the hunt for the best WiFi extender on a budget, and I’ve got to say, this one is in the running.
In this RangeXTD review, I’ll be comparing and contrasting this device to other extenders I’ve tested out. Being a recent graduate, I don’t have too much disposable income. So, price point in the number one concern for me. I’d like to save a few extra dollars at the end of the month. Any way I can cut costs, I’m willing to try.
The RangeXTD WiFi Extender is a compact WiFi booster that plugs into your outlet, giving you more and better coverage. When I first saw this product, I was a bit unsure about what it was. The other WiFi boosters on the market are big, bulky, and have long antennae. This one is more sleek and modern looking. I would not be embarrassed for people to see this in my home.
The device works by using your existing WiFi and increasing its coverage, depending on the placement and other possible interferences in your space. At home, I live in a multi-level house with five other users. We all share the same router, have our own bedrooms, and are constantly fighting over the connection. We even had to come to an agreement that we would only stream our favorite shows and watch them together, rather than each person streaming on their own. We tried that out, and quickly found we were each getting booted off our network.
When the device arrived, I was nervous about getting things started. I’m not very tech savvy, and I wasn’t looking forward to troubleshooting if the device didn’t work. But the instructions were very clear and simple. I was able to plug it in and get a connection in just a few minutes.
The device has very simple features that make it easy to understand. When the connection is not that strong, you can tell by the light indicator. In this case, you can try plugging it into a few different spots until the light indicates you have reached a strong signal.
You may have heard before that “placement is everything” when it comes to routers. The same goes for this device. You want to set it up somewhere between your router and the dead zone. It helps to have a clear pathway and no obstructions. Furniture, mirrors, walls and floors can all get in the way of a good connection.
If you happen to live in a multi-level home, you have to consider the signals need to travel through brick, concrete, and other materials. This took us just a few minutes for us to set it up.
I found the range of the device to be quite wide. I’m not too sure how far it goes, but for our house, it was just perfect. My room is the ultimate dead spot (which is the reason I wanted to get the device in the first place), but after plugging in the device I was able to stay connected. I can stream my favorite media and download music without any hassle.
For the price, yes. Other WiFi boosters are more expensive and don’t offer as much coverage. According to some other RangeXTD reviews, this is by far the best WiFi booster. It's affordable, easy to set up, and provides more coverage than the rest. When I first tried to order one online, they were completely sold out. If you’re planning on getting one, you may want to get a few just in case. They were on discount when I ordered mine, but I foolishly only ordered one and now regret it.
If you live or work in a place with multiple devices, I highly recommend the RangeXTD. This can be very useful for big houses, your outdoor spaces (backyard, patio, garden, etc) and offices too. You may find other products out there, but just be sure it’s the right one. Some people make copycat devices and try to lure you into a RangeXTD Scam, but there is only one genuine product.
A few RangeXTD reviews even claim they have saved on bills because of this device. You’ll only need to make the one purchase of the device itself. Just make sure you are getting the most out of your booster when you set it up. Keep it away from large furniture and other wireless devices.
I would say this is one of the top WiFi boosters I have ever used. Its simplicity makes it perfect for anyone to use, while still providing quality connection. If you’re still on the fence, just do your research on how much you would be saving. As a student, this is a great option. But I don’t doubt that even after my studies are done, I’ll still be using this device wherever I go.
