Will Network Extender 2 boost home Wifi?

Question

Hi all. Our home Wifi signal on the 3rd floor is not as solid as downstairs. We notice this on Zoom calls, etc. I just received a 4G Network Extender 2. I may be asking this question the wrong way but, will the Network Extender boost home Wifi? Or, is this device only used for cell service? Our cell phone service seems to be OK... Thanks so much! Mitch

No, the Network Extenders create a Network cell signal ONLY, not WiFi.  You would need an access point device to provide a wider WiFi  footprint.

Thanks so much for the reply! Guess I need to now find a access point device...
