Introduction
To expand home network coverage, the Rackspace WiFi signal booster allows wifi signal re-extend. P.S. Rackspace advises against connecting extenders to each other since they will slow down WiFi more than connections between extenders and routers. Instead, connect extenders directly to your original router.
