Wifi Extender by Team of Monkeys .com helps you find the spot with the strongest Wi-Fi signal, then turns your Linux laptop into a hotspot so phones, tablets, TVs and other computers can share the internet it receives.
Wifi Extender works through NetworkManager. The hotspot is never saved to your system network settings and disappears when you stop it. No telemetry and no accounts.
One-time setup: Wifi Extender needs two permissions to manage your Wi-Fi. The app shows them on first start; you can also run:
``` sudo snap connect wifi-extender-team:network-manager sudo snap connect wifi-extender-team:network-control ```
Most Intel, Realtek and MediaTek laptop cards can share their connection with a single card. The hotspot uses the same channel as your network; radar-checked 5 GHz channels (52-144) and 6 GHz cannot be used for broadcasting.
Only share an internet connection you are entitled to share.
