The device does exactly what it says — extends signal quality throughout your home or business. That means better coverage and download speeds.
If you have WiFi coverage issues in one part of your home (e.g. buffering while streaming or dropped connections) as opposed to other areas of your home, then a WiFi extender could be your solution.
The CenturyLink WiFi Extender kit is built on a best-in-class standard called G.hn, which stands for “Gigabit home network.” The kit uses your home’s existing electrical wiring system to carry the high-speed internet connection from your modem to the access point unit, which can be placed anywhere in your home that needs extra coverage.
In more technical terms, a G.hn Powerline Network Adapter (bridge) is used in combination with at least one Wireless Network Extender (access point) to stretch your wireless signal. By using the existing electrical system in your home or building, you can get a better connection to your modem or router by extending your wired connection, avoiding some of the physical limitations of usual wireless connections.
All the WiFi Extender kit requires is two electrical outlets to plug directly into, and a modem with a high-speed internet connection. Note that the devices should not be plugged into power strips or extension cords or they will not work properly. One device (called a bridge) gets plugged in near your modem, and the other device (the extender) can be plugged into any other outlet in another part of your home where you need extra coverage.
