One of the big problems that the first smart home users are encountering is the Internet connection. As we install devices such as smart doorbells, security cameras and smart radiators at home, we are increasingly loading our router, especially if it is the same one that the operator gave us when we contracted the line.
The most common failure that occurs in these cases is that the devices disconnect by themselves, in many cases because the connection strength is very low. This is especially noticeable in houses with many rooms; Every wall is an obstacle for the radio waves emitted by our router, to the point that it is easy for a distant room to not have any type of connection.
A possible solution to this problem is to buy a WiFi network extender; and fortunately, we now have a great offer on one of the most recommended models. It is about the Xiaomi Mi WiFi Range Extender AC1200which is normally available for 24.99 euros, but which It is now available for only 12.99 euros for a limited time on the Xiaomi page.
It is a very complete model that is capable of bring WiFi connection to every room in the home without having to buy another more powerful or modern router. This device, in fact, is basically a router that takes the dual-band signal from our main router, and repeats it, creating a WiFi access point; In this way, it is possible to cover more square meters than we could initially obtain.
This device is compatible with 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz dual-band networks, to achieve combined speed up to 1,200 Mbps. In addition to the wireless connection, this device also has an Ethernet port, which allows direct cable connection if we prefer it to devices such as consoles or computers.

The Free Android
Therefore, this device is more recommended if we notice problems with the Internet connection in certain parts of our home, such as distant rooms or rooms with thick walls. We can see a possible symptom in the WiFi signal of our smartphone, or even if we suffer ‘cuts’ in the connection.
Another possible clue that we have connection problems is found in streaming apps, such as YouTube or Netflix; If we notice pauses in playback, or that the video takes a while to load, it is very possible that we have a network problem that this Xiaomi device can solve.
The configuration of the WiFi Range Extender AC1200 is simple, and is done with a mobile app; During the installation process, we only have to bring the device closer to the router to capture the WiFi signal, enter the password and security settings, and select the room in which we are going to install the device. It is possible to have several of these devices connected to the same network, throughout different rooms of the home.
