A New Xiaomi Wi-Fi Booster Is Hitting Shelves Soon

One of the most painful problems of a wireless home network is that the further you walk away from the router and the more physical obstacles there are in your house the weaker the signal gets. Xiaomi is again helping with that.

Mi Powerline Wi-Fi Adapter has a funny translation from Chinese. Its official name is Powercat and the device bears a resemblance to one, don’t you think? It is actually a kit that consists of two units. The main unit plugs into a power socket near the router and connects to the router via the Ethernet cable. The second unit plugs into a power socket in another room. The procedure is plug-and-play and so it can be connected without fuss.

The main unit, the host, can exchange a stable signal with up to 3 complementary units throughout the house. Top ceiling transmission rate is of 300 Mbps. Mi Powerline Wi-Fi Adapter is ready for the most demanding user. It is very convenient to use as it is also compatible with other brands of routers. It also supports password synchronization and automatic SSID naming.

If you want to have even more flexibility with controlling your wireless network at home or even taking it out of the house check Xiaomi Mi WiFi Amplifier. It can pair with your PC, your power strip or your router and does not bring up the rear when it comes to delivering qualitative Wi-Fi signal across the house.
