Hello Squirrel, There most certainly is a new wifi extender! Please visit https://bit.ly/2INvZyO to learn more about this new amazing product! If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to private message me and I will be glad to assist you further!

I saw that,but when I click on it nothing happens. The information for the other stuff on the list come up but not the Wifi Booster.

@GabeUThanks for the link,I guess I'll have to call though because it doesn't mention a very important question,the price.

That's the price that was quoted to me by a chat agent. Edit: better call or chat to make sure, anyway.

Ok.

Also keep in mind, that one you start using the extender you will use up all of your data twice as fast. They all fail to mention that.
I got my extender, and it used up all of my data in two days.

A wifi booster only increases the coverage, extends the area where wifi is received.  It's likely you're using more data for other reasons.

Complete and utter nonsense. 

 

The only way someone would use more data after the WiFi Booster installation is because they can now use the internet in areas where they couldn't before, so the increased data consumption is becasue of increased usage on the part of the customer, nothing more.  Which means your data was used up twice as fast because YOU were using it twice as fast.
