Our test house was wired recently, so cable quality was not a factor, but not everyone will be so lucky. This is all you need to turn your unused coax cabling into a network extender for a router. The company also throws in a cable tester.
The Coaxifi kit is a custom built four-way splitter - which is the heart of the system - four multi-band antennas, and six SMA-to-Type-F adapters, which let you connect everything to the router. Better still, pricing starts at $90 for Kickstarter backers ($130 at retail) – a lot less than a mesh router system. That’s why we were curious to try out a new Kickstarter-funded solution from a company called EthernetCSP in our Coaxifi review.Ĭoaxifi is an antenna extender and splitter which lets you connect your home’s existing coaxial cable to one of your router’s antenna ports, significantly improving Wi-Fi coverage by placing additional antennas in up to four locations around your house. To take advantage of these new products - which do indeed improve WI-Fi for most people - you’ll have to ditch your existing router and invest a minimum of $260 – possibly, much more.
Still others make use of portions of the Wi-Fi spectrum typically reserved for military and commercial radar known as DFS. Some of these use mesh technology, placing several Wi-Fi nodes around your home, while others take a brute-force approach, placing up to eight antennas on a single, powerful router. Requires external antenna-equipped routerĪs we populate our homes with more and more wireless devices, the quest for better Wi-Fi coverage has become something of an obsession, leading to a slew of new Wi-Fi products.
