Hi all,

I am currently using AT&T as my internet provider and need to ask a question about my cell phone. I have a Tracfone LG Ultimate phone which I use basically to listen to music while I am out in my yard doing yard work. The rest of the time I just use it for emergency purposes only.

My problem is that when I basically just get out of my house the music app cuts off. I was told that it could be a weak wifi signal and to just shut the wifi off on my phone and just use my phone data but was also told that that could start getting expensive. Is there a way to extend my wifi signal so I do not have to use my cell phone data?

Thanks

A wifi extender or repeater, while not usually recommended for high bandwidth applications, would likely be adequate for music streaming. You could place the extender near a window in the area you are working outdoors, but where it would also receive a decent signal from your router.

Just some examples:
