WiFi Extender

Anyone have a suggestion for a WiFi extender you’ve had success using with PurpleAir sensors? Lots of brands out there… looking for a budget friendly option to easily extend the 2.4gHz band.

@AL.PurpleAir I use a Linksys Dual Band Wireless Range Extender, RE6350.
It works on both 2.4 & 5gHz bands. This extender can be setup to receive the PurpleAir on 2.4 and connect to your network/router on either 2.4 or 5 gHz band. During setup it shows you both signal strengths (PurpleAir and Router) to helps you find the best location for the extender.

We like the TP-Link N300 WiFi Extender(RE105).
< Amazon.com: TP-Link N300 WiFi Extender(RE105), WiFi Extenders Signal Booster for Home, Single Band WiFi Range Extender, Internet Booster, Supports Access Point, Wall Plug Design, 2.4Ghz only : Electronics >
While 2.4GHz only it has proven quite reliable, and has a good programming app called “Tether”.
