Wi-Fi extenders are a ripoff

People can, sometimes, be oddly reluctant to invest in their home’s Wi-Fi network. On one level, I get it — other tech investments are often more exciting, or at least deliver more immediate results. Wi-Fi is one of the pillars of your digital existence however, so when it suffers, so does everything else. Skimping on home networking in favor of other tech can be like installing a new shower in your bathroom when the plumbing is about to burst.
