You don’t fix it, exactly. Because, usually, there is nothing wrong with the extender. What you need to do is make sure your device connects to the correct signal.

There are some high-priced handover systems you can purchase, and some android apps you can try – but it’s not actually necessary. All you need to do is open your device’s Wifi settings and select the signal via which you want to connect.

To make this task simpler, make sure you give your router Wifi and extender Wifi different names! That way you will always know which connection you’re using.

WiFi range extenders tap directly into the wired connection, so your bandwidth is unaffected. This extends your existing network to a new location, without retransmitting data or creating a separate wireless network. If you're in a compromised setting that a WiFi repeater can't reach, and you want the fastest connection possible, a WiFi extender is the way to go.
