O2's solution to put an end to slow WiFi forever

As much as we want, depending on our home and where the router is located, we will not always get the WiFi connection to reach all corners of the house. And O2 knows it very well. That is why he recommends this solution to his clients who have connection problems, either because it is very slow or the signal does not even reach some areas.

Having good WiFi coverage at home is essential for many. Either for work, to watch movies or series or to play online with their consoles. It does not matter the use, the important thing is that it arrives well and we have the adequate speed that we had contracted. However, it does not always reach all corners of the house equally. What is the solution? O2 offers its customers two types of WiFi network amplifiers so that they can bring this connection to all points in their homes.

O2 WiFi Amplifiers

Currently, within O2 we find two types of WiFi amplifiers according to the needs of each user and depending on each person’s home. Therefore, we are going to see the characteristics of both devices and, above all, what is the price that the operator’s customers have to pay to get hold of these devices. In this way, you can say goodbye to slow WiFi forever.

  • WIFI amplifier

The first option that we find in the catalog of amplifiers for the O2 WiFi network is this device, which is also available to Movistar customers. Basically, because it is from the first Telefónica brand. However, it is also offered to the low cost operator.

This is a device that has dual band with WiFi AC, with a 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WiFi 5 signal. In addition, it has a Gigabit Ethernet port for LAN. And we will not need the help of any technician, we can self-install it on our own at the moment we receive it at home. Inside the box we will find everything you need: cables for installation and guide. It has a price of 60 euros (including VAT), plus you have to add 7.30 euros for shipping costs.

  • Smart Wi-Fi 6 Amplifier

In this case, we are going with a somewhat newer device. More than anything, because within its specifications we find that the Smart WiFi 6 amplifier comes with the WiFi 6 standard . In addition, it incorporates twelve internal antennas for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, being compatible with the 11b/g/n/a/ac and 11ax standards. However, to enjoy this device we will need to have the O2 HGU router at home.

As in the previous amplifier, we can install this device on our own. In addition to that it has an automatic auto-configuration in all the equipment. And keep in mind that we will only have a single network name for the whole home. This device comes with two Ethernet ports, one of which is full speed . In fact, this model achieves 30% more coverage. Among other details of the Smart WiFi amplifier we find that it offers WPA2 and WPA3 security encryption.

In addition, this model incorporates Band-Sterring WiFi Roaming functions, works as a WiFi repeater and as a WiFi access point, with dual functionality available. And although it is self-installable, we can pay a little more for a technician to come. Therefore, the price with installation is 179 euros (shipping included) and if we install it for us, it will cost us 129 euros + 7.30 euros shipping (including VAT).
