Wifi is a funny thing. On one hand, it’s made our lives a lot easier, freeing us from the cord and tethers that we once needed to get a connection to the outside world. But on the other hand, it can be frustrating, confounded by some bricks and plaster and the odd bit of steel.

Because wireless signals aren’t magic; they’re affected by the type of building you’re in, or how far away from the modem you are located. So, your super-fast broadband speeds that you’re paying a hefty sum of money for every month could be rendered almost useless to you simply because your modem is too far away from your bedroom.

If that’s the case, you might need a bit of help. The TP-Link AV500 Wifi can help bridge the gap between your modem and your devices. It consists of two plugs: one that is plugged in near your modem, connected via Ethernet to your internet hub, and a second that you can position near the trouble spots in your home or office.

The device uses the electrical wiring in your home to extend your network. If you have a compatible modem, you can simply set up the powerline kit with a single press; the AV500 clones your SSID and security settings. Wifi won’t suit everyone though, and for this reason, you can also plug Ethernet devices into the second plug. That’s handy if you want to stream videos on a device that isn’t convenient to the main modem in the house. Tp-link.com
