Wifi Booster

[dstrass]

Has anyone used one of these intending to gain a few dB on their wifi signal?

Comparing my Prime to my fiance's OG Transformer, she gets within 5dB stronger wifi signal than I do.

I figure for .99 and free shipping, it can't be that big of a waste.

I'm no expert, but it looks like a gimmick to me.

These boosters are a hoax and have been around forever. They do nothing.

Cellphone antenna booster sticker test and analysis

"Based on my testing, and the antenna theory as presented by the experts, cellphone antenna booster stickers do not work as advertised.

Based on their marketing techniques, including the imaginary or unverifiable “experts” stating they work, it’s my belief antenna booster stickers are a scam."

You can google dozens of articles that come to the same conclusion.

That looks like a great in-home solution. My "issue" is with all WiFi-enabled devices at my office. I wish there were a way to extend the range of the network without doing anything that would be frowned upon.
