A wireless connection booster is a repeater. It is a device similar to a wireless router. The device picks up a wireless signal from a router and then rebroadcasts it out.A wireless connection requires a signal generated for your computer or for your router to talk to other internet hubs.

A wireless connection requires a signal generated for your computer or for your router to talk to other internet hubs. A connection booster simply increases the signal strength so that the connection device can reach more hubs or have a stronger signal for better fidelity.

It helps to pick up signals, increase strength and amplifies connection and it generates wireless connection from your router/ or computer to other devices. It helps you capture stronger signals and gives you access reception.

Think of your wireless router as radio tower. The farther the computer is away the weaker the signal. The booster takes the signal and amplifies it so it carries farther.

They are a very simple technology, they work exactly like an amplifier for an audio system, boosting the signal strength and repeating it. At this time they cost far more than they will in another year or even a few months so consider putting off your purchase until they become more mainstream.

A wireless connection booster is a repeater. It is a device similar to a wireless router. The device picks up a wireless signal from a router and then rebroadcasts it out. When this device is placed near the range limit of a wireless router, it will extend the range of the signal from the point where the booster is sitting.

Well they function either by making the antennae more receptive to the signal or amplify the actual signal. This typically done through some type of hardware.
