The range of Wi-Fi networks is being extended over greater distances using this wireless technology.

The technology that is being used to extend the range of Wi-Fi networks over greater distances is called Wi-Fi extenders or Wi-Fi boosters. These devices work by receiving the existing Wi-Fi signal, amplifying it, and then transmitting the boosted signal. They can be used to cover areas where the Wi-Fi signal from the main router is weak or non-existent.

Here are the steps on how it works:

1. The Wi-Fi extender or booster must be placed within the range of your existing Wi-Fi network.

2. The device will then connect to your existing Wi-Fi network.

3. Once connected, the device will amplify or boost the signal it receives from the Wi-Fi network.

4. The boosted signal will then be transmitted, extending the range of your Wi-Fi network.

5. Any Wi-Fi enabled devices within the extended range can now connect to the Wi-Fi network.

Remember, the placement of the Wi-Fi extender is crucial for it to work effectively. It should be placed in an area where it can receive a strong signal from your existing Wi-Fi network.
