what is a Wi-Fi extender so that is a subject of this video now a Wi-Fi extender as the name suggests is what extends the range of a wireless signal from a Wi-Fi router it acts like a bridge between a Wi-Fi router and a Wi-Fi device that is outside the range of a Wi-Fi routers signal the Wi-Fi extender first connects to an existing Wi-Fi network and then once it's connected it then acts like a wireless access point for Wi-Fi devices to connect to so as an example most people who have internet service in their home will most likely have a Wi-Fi router that will broadcast a wireless signal all throughout their home so that their wireless devices can have internet access but sometimes there might be issues where the wireless signal is not strong enough to cover the entire house so for example in this home the Wi-Fi router is in the living room now if you have a wireless laptop that's connected to the routers Wi-Fi in the same room as the Wi-Fi router the signal is obviously going to be very strong since it's close to the router but as you move further away from the router the wireless signal will not be as strong so in this room up here and as you can see by the signal bars the signal is weaker but you will still be connected and still have internet access and also in the kitchen it's the same result the signal is not as strong but you can still access the Internet so reaching the wireless signal in these two areas are not necessarily a problem however if you were to try to access the wireless signal from the furthest distance in the house like up here in the bedroom the wireless signal is going to be very weak or the signal may not reach at all and the main reason for this is obviously the distance because as you get further away from the Wi-Fi router the signal weakens and another is the building structure because as a wireless signal broadcasts the signal gets weakened as it goes through walls and through floors in a building now one way to solve this problem could be to reposition the Wi-Fi router to a different location in the house such as moving it closer to the center but this could be an issue especially if you have wire devices that are connected to the router or if you have a connecting modem that can't be moved and needs to stay in its original location but there is another way to solve this and this is by using a Wi-Fi extender the Wi-Fi extender will connect to the wireless signal and extend the distance of the wireless signal so it can reach further distances so the best place to put the Wi-Fi extender would be somewhere in the middle of this home so in this case we're just going to put it here in the kitchen and by placing it here the Wi-Fi extender is still close enough to receive a strong signal from the router and it can still send a strong signal up here to the bedroom so now the Wi-Fi extender will connect wirelessly to the Wi-Fi router signal and then once it's connected it will broadcast its own wireless signal all throughout this home now keep in mind the Wi-Fi extender is not strengthening or amplifying the router signal it's actually broadcasting its own signal but it's getting its internet access from the router so for example this router broadcasts a wireless signal with a name that's customizable and this name is called the SSID or service set identifier so let's say that the owner called the wireless signal home hom e this name is how you identify which wireless signal that you want to connect to and the Wi-Fi extender is also going to broadcast a signal with its own SSID or name now a lot of times when you're hooking up a Wi-Fi the extenders setup assistant may name itself as the same SSID as the routers but with a name added at the end so for example as I said before the routers SSID is called home and then once the extender is configured and hooked up to the router it may call itself home ext so now if we open up the laptop up here in the bedroom and then scan for wireless networks in the area will see the routers Wi-Fi signal called home and the Wi-Fi extender signal called home ext and as you can see the routers Wi-Fi signal is very weak but the Wi-Fi extender signal is very strong so this laptop will now connect to the Wi-Fi extender signal and then once it's connected its able to access the internet so now any device that connects to the Wi-Fi extender signal will be able to access the Internet if you want to know which Wi-Fi extender that I personally recommend there's a link in the description below and it's by far the best one that I've worked with yet I have personally set this up for many of my customers and they all have been very pleased with it without any complaints it's made by Netgear and I created this graphic to look just like it and like I said there's a link in the description below and thank you for watching
hello everyone in this article we're going to talk about different types of printers now printers allow the ability to print copies of documents or photos onto paper from a computer now there are several different types of printers but the most common types that are used in homes and businesses are inkjet and laser printers and there are also a couple of less common printers such as thermal printers and dot matrix printers which we'll talk about later so let's first talk about inkjet printers now inkjet printers are the most common printers that are used in homes they are affordable and they produce photo quality results and they are enough to suit the needs of a typical home user now an inkjet printer works by the printhead moving back and forth across the paper during printing and during this process the printhead places ink on the paper in very tiny dots in fact these dots are so tiny that they are smaller in diameter than a human hair and as these dots are precisely pla
