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. ### Package name * wifi-extender-team --- ### License * Proprietary --- ### Last updated * 28 October 2026 - latest/stable --- ### Websites * [teamofmonkeys.com](https://teamofmonkeys.com "https://teamofmonkeys.com") --- ### Contact * [support@teamofmonkeys.com](mailto:support@teamofmonkeys.com "mailto:support@teamofmonkeys.com") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/wifi-extender-team/elementary#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on elementary OS and install Wifi Extender Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build.
