Not in all corners of our house we have the same coverage for a wireless connection. On some occasions, the very structure of the house worsens the quality of the network. If you are from O2 and the Wi-Fi does not reach all the rooms in your home or even does not go at the right speed, the operator has this solution available.
WiFi coverage is one of those problems that can sometimes make us desperate. There may be connection problems, that the speed is lost along the way or that the signal does not reach all corners of our house well. There are several ways to fix this problem. There are solutions such as PLC, WiFi repeaters or signal amplifiers. O2 offers its customers two types of WiFi network amplifiers so that speed problems in your connection disappear.
WIFI amplifier
As its name suggests, the function of an amplifier is to expand coverage, reaching more spaces, improving the signal and preventing it from being saturated. A good solution to have all the power of WiFi in all the rooms of your home or office. In this way, the double objective of improving coverage and speed is fulfilled. O2 has two WiFi amplifier models. Both have the same purpose, but have different features and prices.
The classic and the one that Movistar has been offering the longest is the WiFi amplifier, a model that it also makes available to customers of its second brand O2. It is a device with dual band with WiFi AC, with a WiFi signal of 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz and with a gigabit Ethernet port for LAN.
