Country to popular belief boosters don't improve wireless they reduce the bandwidth available by half to all devices on the wireless network, they are only useful when almost zero signal is being received in an area of the premises. In general, one should only use a booster on the 5Ghz band for that wireless band usually has plenty of bandwidth to share because of its limited range.

And remember areas with lots of wireless around it from neighbourhood Wi-Fi signals already share the wireless bands.

@Jon3110 to add boosters need a good signal to boost should be positioned halfway between where tge hub is and where you need the boost. As @mae-3 boosters have limitations and there are better so,utions but they normally cost money one way ir the other. If you explain the issue you have then forum members should be able to asvise.
