D-Link's Wireless Range Extender boosts WiFi signal for $49.99

For users whose homes or offices are littered with various tablets, smartphones, PCs and WiFi enabled devices, the signal can drop dramatically. D-Link's solution is a tiny yet powerful range extender that boosts WiFi without breaking the bank.

D-Link's latest Wireless Range Extender (DAP-1320), is designed to extend any existing wireless network to the farthest corners of a home. The most affordable option on the market today, at $49.99, the compact and ultra-portable Wireless Range Extender is ideal for extending Wi-Fi to hard-to-reach areas like basements, upstairs bedrooms and backyards. 

“Encountering a dead zone in your home can be frustrating, to say the least,” said Lou Reda, general manager, D-Link Canada. “As more and more Canadians bring Wi-Fi connected devices into their homes, the demand for whole home coverage increases. D-Link's Wireless Range Extender will eliminate dead zones to help you stay connected whether you’re using a tablet in the backyard or your smartphone in the basement.”

Delivering speeds of up to 300Mbps, the Wireless Range Extender expands Internet access to wireless devices such as laptops, smartphones and tablets, and offers fast web-browsing, smooth online gaming, uninterrupted music and video streaming. In addition, the Wireless Range Extender features a simple one-button installation and is universally compatible with all wireless brands^[i] for added flexibility. Simply press the WPS button on the router and on the wireless range extender to allow the devices to sync and instantly increase the coverage of a wireless network.

The device is equipped with Wireless N technology and uses multiple intelligent antennas to maximize the speed and range of a wireless signal to significantly outperform previous-generation Wireless G devices. The antennas make use of a home’s environment by bouncing multiple wireless signals off walls and ceilings to work around obstructions and help eliminate dead spots.
