Great Gadget
For some reason I only just found out about these brilliant little WIFI Extender/Repeater gadgets. I wish I had known about them 8 years ago !!

This small portable USB powered gadget is essentially a WIFI receiver just like you have in your laptop, iPad or Smart Phone, only it's far more powerful and is able to work even with the tiniest of signals (what would display as 1 bar on our phones/devices).
All it requires is a USB power supply which can either be one of those 3 pin standard plug adapters with a USB socket in it, or a USB adapter that you use in your car cigarette lighter socket, or it can just be a USB port on your laptop.
Doesn't matter, any USB powered socket will do.
What this neat little device does is RECEIVE all the WiFi signals around it, esp the weak ones, and then TRANSMITS the same Wifi out again.
What that means is you get full 5 bar signal from it.
There are of course tons of Wifi Extender/Repeater devices out there but most have a domestic 3 pin plug attached to them. Many of you may be already using those to extend the Wifi signal from your home router into rooms where the router signal isn't strong enough.
The beauty of the above little gadget is that it is small (a few inches long) and so very portable. I can carry it in my netbook case very easily.
Where ever I find myself, if I want to use WiFi and the signal is too weak, I can just plug in this little WiFi extender and instantly get full bar Wifi signal.
It's useful for me personally because I'm often sat outside in the car waiting for my other half to come out of work and sometimes I can pick up free Wifi from the buildings around me and other times I can't because I'm just out of range.
With this little gadget I will always be in range and get a strong signal.
And it's only about £15 !
Very useful for me
