[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1950432, member: 190607"] Before you do anything, you should use your Mac's built-in Wi-Fi diagnostics to check your Wi-Fi reception.

In the case of a Mac mini, I recommend that you try setting it on your desktop UPSIDE DOWN. The Wi-Fi antenna in your mini is ON THE BOTTOM of the case. Mounting your mini upside down might greatly increase your Wi-Fi signal. I have to warn you that I've used a bunch of brands of Wi-Fi extenders. Most of them, for some unknown reason, could never be made to work with a Macintosh. I"ve had good luck with D-Link extenders though. But I've had even better luck with powerline adapters. [/QUOTE]
