Life is full of challenges, setbacks, and disappointments. When a home Wi-Fi signal is insufficient to power a smartphone upstairs, human suffering is the result. One of the joys of having an iPhone is being able to watch YouTube videos while sitting in bed. But in our house, the Wi-Fi signal did not reach upstairs adequately, causing videos to stop after a few seconds. Then I’d get the dreaded “processing” icon. Sometimes the the phone would grab the signal again, but usually it didn’t. What a pain.

This Wi-Fi extender, located upstairs, solved that problem. It picks up the original Wi-Fi signal and re-broadcasts it as a new Wi-Fi signal. Videos play without any problem now. Once in a while the Wi-Fi connection is lost, but re-connecting is easy and quick. We bought our Amped extender on-line through Costco for $99 plus tax---money well spent. She Who Must Be Obeyed did the research and made the purchase.

I disavow any knowledge of being a slave to
smartphones and the World-Wide Web.
