Our favorite budget WiFi extender is now just $13
It’s a very modern complaint, but bad Wi-Fi sucks. Trying to access your favorite sites (or endlessly scrolling through TikTok videos) and being stopped by buffering is a bad time, and not something we should have to deal with in the year 2024. If you’re looking for a way to alleviate that pain, TP-Link’s RE220 Wi-Fi extender is a great option. While it can’t compete with a whole-home mesh Wi-Fi system, it’s our favorite budget Wi-Fi extender and can boost coverage up to 1,200 feet — and it’s currently only $13 thanks to an on-page coupon on Amazon.
The TP-Link RE220 excels in its ease of use. Simply plug this Wi-Fi extender into a free power outlet and it is ready to use. It connects to both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks that your internet router already offers, and installation is a breeze.

There’s a reason this is one of our favorites, and part of that is the party trick: This extender has an Ethernet port, so you can connect things like gaming consoles, smart home hubs, and more for an even more reliable connection. On the wireless side, you can expect speeds of up to AC750 on up to 30 devices.
Of course, your Wi-Fi can’t be faster than your home internet, so consider upgrading if you need more power. Before you do, be sure to check out our list of the best internet providers from, ironically, anywhere on the web.
