TP Link wifi extender

CNET/TP-Link

Most of us have multiple devices that need internet connection. This includes our phones and laptops, but also our smart home gadgets like smart TVs, smart speakers and more. Having a strong Wi-Fi signal throughout the home is super important. If your Wi-Fi signal isn't too great, a Wi-Fi extender is a great solution. And it doesn't have to be an expensive fix either as Amazon's Big Spring Sale is in full swing. In fact our favorite budget extender is down to $15. That's just $3 more than its all-time low price. You can get the TP-Link Wi-Fi extender today for just $15.    

The TP-Link RE220 stands out for its ease of use. Just plug this Wi-Fi extender into a spare AC outlet to get up and running. It connects to both the 5GHz and 2.4GHz networks that your internet router already provides, and setup is a breeze.

Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.    

There's a reason this is one of our faves and part of that is its party trick: This extender includes an Ethernet port so you can plug things like game consoles, smart home hubs and more into it for an even more reliable connection. In terms of wireless, you can expect up to AC750 speeds across up to 30 devices.

Naturally, your Wi-Fi can only go as fast as your home internet, so consider upgrading if you need more power. Before you do, be sure to check out our list of the best internet providers from around the web. And don't forget to check out other Amazon Big Spring sale smart home deals

Why this deal matters 

This TP Link extender is one of our favorite options for a Wi-Fi extender. In fact, it's our favorite budget option and now it just got even cheaper. It's now down to $15, a price we haven't seen since last year. For only $15, you can strengthen the Wi-Fi signal throughout your entire home, no more lagging and buffering. We don't know if this price will last long after Amazon's sale, or even though entire sale. It's better to grab one now if you're interested.
