The eco-friendly $375 project requires some technical skills to handle the soldering iron, the Linksys Wi-Fi range expander, antenna, cords, battery and the solar panel. The ideal behind creating the Wi-Fi extender is to eliminate blockage done by other local wireless devices along with extending the range by up to 200 to 300 feet the green way without compromising on performance.
