Tools to Extend the Wi-Fi Range
What are WiFi Extenders?
What are WiFi extenders or WiFi enhancers? These electronic components are signal boosters for our routers, that multiply the signal sent from the routing device to a wider area, both unidirectional (in one direction) or multidirectional (in multiple directions). WiFi enhancers can be mounted on the router’s antenna and boost the signal directly from the source, or they can be entirely separate devices that boost the signal when it gets low, creating a new hot spot around them.
If a usual WiFi router has a coverage area of about approximately 50
meters, these WiFi extenders can double or even triple the WiFi coverage
of your router.
How expensive are these WiFi extenders?
You might expect these devices to have staggering prices, much more over the range of normal WiFi routers. But the truth is that they come in almost the same price range, going from anything around $20 and up to $400 or more. This makes them widely available for anyone who wants a boost of their Wi-Fi signal, to enjoy the web from the backyard or for those who share an Internet connection at a greater distance.9 Best Wi-Fi Extenders

7. Luxul PW100-24-100 WiFi Booster
6. Linksys WRE54G WiFi Booster
5. Belkin Dual-Band F9K1106

3. Netgear WN3000RP
Although less powerful than the other Wi-Fi enhancers featured in this top, and with only one ethernet port, this device is much more smaller and it fits in one wall socket, so you don’t need a power cord to run it. This is the way to go if you don’t want any wires in your home and if you prefer small, less noticeable devices. It’s great for a home network, amplifying your Wi-Fi signal with another 30 meters, great for a home or office network and not wide enough for other people to piggyback your connection.2.

Tata Teleservices planning to setup 4000 Wi-Fi hotspots in nine major cities
After
introducing Wi-Fi services at major airports last year, Tata
Teleservices is now set to expand its operations across nine cities in
India.
Tata Teleservices has plans to set up nearly 4000 Wi-Fi hotspots in nine cities across India over the period of two years. The cities expected to receive the services are not yet revealed. The service provider already has set up 540 Wi-Fi hotspots across the country including New Delhi, Bangalore international airport, the Wankhede cricket stadium in Mumbai and several cafes in various cities.
Setting up Wi-Fi hotspots is becoming
more practical given the sudden increase in smartphones in India. Wi-Fi
hotspot becomes more preferable than an active 2G/3G data service or
data dongle.
Speaking about the company’s plans,
Avinash Gabriel, Chief Operations Officer of Wi-Fi business at Tata
Teleservices, said, “From about 1 lakh logins in April last year, we now
have 4.4 lakh logins, where the average time spent in each session is
40 minutes. So roughly, we've clocked 35 million minutes of usage as of
January, up from 18 million minutes in April.”

Idea launches Wi-Fi services in 5 Indian cities
Idea Cellular, India’s fourth largest mobile service provider in India has introduced Wi-Fi services in 5 Indian cities of Pune, Ahmedabad, Cochin, Vizag and Hyderabad. Although most telecom providers do provide data plans through dongle, Idea’s Wi-fi service is very different from “internet through dongle” type of services. Simply put, Idea Wi-fi service can be called as city-wide hotspot, though with some differences. Aircel was first company to provide similar services where they created hotspots in a given area, based on which they provided internet access to subscribers. however, it looks like the service did not gather much steam since they launched early in 2011.
Although not many details are given on the Idea Wi-Fi microsite, it looks like Idea Cellular plans to create a city wide wi-fi network. It is not clear whether they will create a separate network or the existing mobile network will be used for the same (as far as I can tell, it will be the former).
Idea Wi-Fi subscribers will need a router which can either be procured from the open market or can be purchased from Idea customer support personnel. There is a one-time installation charges of Rs. 500 for postpaid and Rs. 562 for pre-paid plans towards configuration of Idea WiFi services at the Customer Premises.
Tariff plans for Idea Wi-Fi services
The plans offered by Idea are quite competitive from pricing perspective especially in Pune. I pay around Rs. 2400 on a Reliance Wi-Max post paid plan for unlimited connection, which has a FUP of around 50GB. Whereas, if you look at post-paid plans on Idea, it has a 50GB plan for Rs. 1299 after which the speeds comes down from 2mbps to 512 kbps.
So, if you are interested in getting Idea Wifi services,, you can fill out this form available on their site currently and Idea representative will give you a call to take it forward.
