Testing Wi-Fi extenders is all about seeing how they perform in a variety of situations. For that reason, we test them all with a Wi-Fi 6 router. First, we measure throughputs with our router, when connected in different rooms. Then we connect the Wi-Fi extender in different parts of our home, and retest connection speeds to see what improvement we can get. When rating routers, we take into account price and performance: if you just want to boost Wi-Fi to usable speeds, a cheaper extender will do; if you need to improve the quality of your network for multiple devices that use a lot more bandwidth then a higher-end model will be required. We test all extenders to see how easy they are to configure, and how easy they are to manage, too.
