Interruptions in office work can be upsetting and sometimes stressful. And the tight time frame amidst weak signals may let you down. If you’re experiencing the same and can’t find a solution to repair the existing signals without replacing them, it is good to go with a range extender.

A range extender is an accessory that can help extend your coverage space by amplifying or boosting existing signals. It allows all the wireless devices within that expanded coverage space to connect to the internet or a similar wireless network. It is a useful substitute that works by dragging in an existing weak signal from a transmitter.

These extenders then strengthen signals before conveying them to more places where it is required. Simply put, a range extender efficiently extends your current network by reaching multiple areas of the home or office, all corners, even the garden, the entire home or office.

Now the question arises which range extender will work well and meets your needs? Here we have Aeotec’s range extender 7, which is compatible with all Z-wave networks. If your home is smart and equipped with Z-wave technology or signals, feel free to pick an Aeotec range extender 7. Keep scrolling to know about Aeotec range extender 7, how it works, its features, and much more!

Your existing wireless coverage will enhance with the Aeotec range extender7. At last, the transmission will be powerful as the reception is bounced across more spaces.

How does an Aeotec Range Extender 7 Works?

An Aeotec range extender 7 starts working once it has formed a connection between the access point and router, and your wireless device with a Z-wave automation network. For example, to use your cell phone or door locks automatically, it would be wise to turn the access point or router on. The Z-wave and Z-wave plus signals are forwarded to your automation network instantly with better range and reliability.

The broadcast is collected by the booster and pushed to your device as the wireless signal is turned on. Provides booster to wireless information before the router collects transmission. After the router accepts the information, it relays it to the web service. This is how an Aeotec Range Extender 7 works.

Plug this range extender around where you’re experiencing a weak Z-wave signal. Simply turn the range extender on by pressing a button on your router. When the assembling is done, you will be able to enjoy the powerful Z-Wave signals, whether they are professional or DIY done.
