Wi‑Fi Repeater Extends Coverage; Smart TV Cleanup Restores Speed
A low‑cost Xiaomi Wi‑Fi repeater available on AliExpress can be plugged into an outlet midway between a router and a dead zone and extend the 2.4 GHz signal to areas where the original Wi‑Fi fades. The device costs about €18, improves connectivity for basic tasks such as email or video streaming, but provides lower throughput than the original router and is not a substitute for a full mesh system.
Smart TVs, especially those running Android TV or Google TV, accumulate cached files and unused applications that consume limited storage and can slow performance. Removing unnecessary apps and clearing their cache via the Settings → Apps menu restores responsiveness without needing a new TV or a factory reset.
