Internet signal range is important in keeping your whole home connected.

Several factors can impact the strength and reach of your home’s internet signal. The size of your house, the materials used to build it, the layout of your rooms, and even the placement of your Wi-Fi router can all influence coverage.

Fortunately, TWN Communications uses advanced technology, equipment, and professional installation to provide its customers with reliable, high-speed whole-home connectivity from the start.

However, in some cases, such as when you’re trying to get a signal out to a detached garage, workshop, or back patio, you may want to explore optional equipment like mesh Wi-Fi extenders.

What Is a Wi-Fi Extender?

A Wi-Fi extender, sometimes called a Wi-Fi booster, is a device that helps expand the reach of your existing wireless signal. It works by receiving the signal from your main router and rebroadcasting it to areas of your home where the signal may be weak or non-existent.

Mesh extenders are typically used in homes that are:

Larger in size – The farther away you are from the router, the weaker the signal becomes. Extenders help bridge that distance.

Built with dense materials – Thick walls, metal, concrete, or brick can interfere with signal strength.

Uniquely laid out – Multi-story homes or those with unusual layouts may have hard-to-reach rooms or corners.

Extended to outdoor areas – If you want to use Wi-Fi in your garage, barn, workshop, patio, or backyard, an extender can help push the signal further.

How Do Mesh Wi-Fi Extenders Work?

An extender is placed somewhere between your router and the area with poor coverage. It picks up the signal from your router, amplifies it, and transmits it outward. This creates a larger footprint for your Wi-Fi, allowing more of your home or property to receive a reliable, high-speed internet signal.

Do You Need an Extender?

In most cases, TWN internet delivers strong, consistent signal coverage throughout the home without the need for an extender. TWN’s advanced network technology and expert installation help eliminate dead zones before they become an issue.

However, for customers with specific needs—like coverage in a backyard, outdoor workspace, or a detached garage—mesh extenders can be a smart solution for ensuring seamless connectivity. If you think you need extra coverage, TWN offers additional Wi-Fi extenders for purchase.
