About this tag
The wi-fi networking tag collects WindowsForum.com discussions about improving wireless coverage and performance in real homes and offices. A recent thread examines replacing Wi-Fi extenders with a wired access point to eliminate dead zones, covering Ethernet backhaul, access point placement, and speed testing on Windows 10 and 11.
