Is It Possible to Buy Wi-Fi Boosters for Hotspot?

Ive been using my hotspot for internet for some time. Good old Felix.

Just wondering if can buy Wi-Fi boosters or extender for hotspot. If so, which one would you recommend.

There is just a particular area outside the house which has strong consistent mobile signal. Would be good to be able to have boosters around the house to extend the range.

  • Yes, many of the Gl-inet products can repeat a hotspot pretty easily. Recommend checking out GL-MT1300 / Beryl — usually easy to find it under $100 on ebay or amazon.

    If you're wanting more than one wireless access point things get complex, and you're going to need to spend a lot more though. Like, you'll need one of the above, and a mesh wifi kit, and perhaps a bit of networking know-how.

    • Bought their top model. Let's see if that works

    • Thanks a lot. This worked really well. I have much stable connection with no dropouts. Also slightly more consistent as well.

        So glad to hear it!! :D

  • Ice been using my hotspot

    Don't do drugs….

  • What I would do is grab a Glinet Router.
    2 reasons. If you are using your phone you don't have a firewall. That will give you a little bit extra protection.
    You can also connect your phone and that can become a wifi hotspot via USB or as repeater.

    Once that happens you could look at a mesh system.

    Do take note that Felix is notorious for cutting people off if they detect you are breaking their T & C's

    • Yeah I got one.
      That is good point around Felix.

      So all I'm doing is using the wifi extender feature. So if I don't create multiple wifi profiles, do you think that would be ok from Felix point of view. My internet usage is not expected to increase.

    • Got their higher end model. Working well so far. Let's see how it goes
