Netgear Extender Wifi Interference Problems and How to Fix Them

Over the past few years calls about Wi-Fi issues have increased dramatically as more devices are wireless. It is frustrating for both the caller and me. Most people want a cheap, quick and solid solution with many thinking they just need a “booster” or “extender” and it is smooth sailing thereafter. The problem is each house is unique, with its own complex set of interferences, it can be expensive to find a solution and even then may have hiccups over time. Since I have lost clients over the years because of them having persistent Wi-Fi issues, I wanted to compile this article to walk through all the ways Wifi issues can happen and what to do with them. What works perfectly for one client literally won’t go to the next room at the next. Some people move and what worked for them before doesn’t even cover half the new home despite it being smaller or same size.

About Routers and extenders

While a user in 2006 might have thought it was cool to sit on their couch without an Ethernet cord plugged into their laptop, the user of today wants to sit on the couch, in a tree house, on the edge of their property half an acre from their home office, and still get a rock-solid Wi-Fi signal to watch Netflix. Wi-Fi technology has improved greatly in recent years, but it’s not one-size-fits-all. Large office spaces with heavy traffic typically utilize Wi-Fi access points, while small offices and homes with limited users are more likely to have Wi-Fi routers and range extenders, everything has pro and cons as discussed at near the bottom.

The most important is placement and distance, don’t assume any router will work for your house and devices. Almost everyone who has Wifi issues has the router tucked away and out of sight in a corner or closet.
