I don’t have internet at home yet, but the installer is coming soon

All about Wi-Fi boosters
Extend your Wi-Fi signal, even to the farthest corner of your home!
Give your Wi-Fi a boost!
A Wi-Fi booster gives your signal that extra push it needs for stable internet, even in spots where you’d normally have no coverage. So you can enjoy fast, reliable internet all throughout your home, worry-free.
Yes please, I’d like a Wi-Fi booster
I already have internet at home and still want to order a Wi-Fi booster
You can do that easily in your My Viking account. Your Wi-Fi booster will be delivered within 3 to 5 working days.
The best spot for your Wi-Fi booster(s)?
That depends on the type of modem installed in your home. Check the photos below and select the right model.
To place your Wi-Fi booster correctly and optimise your Wi-Fi in your home, take a few things into account:
If you can only connect your Wi-Fi booster to your modem via Wi-Fi, any underfloor heating/the size of your house/insulation, or constructions in the floor and/or ceiling can reduce the range of your booster.
We therefore strongly advise you to connect your Wi-Fi booster to your modem via a network cable. In some (newly built) houses, this cabling is present and available through outlets in the wall.
In other cases, it is advisable to order boosters that work via the electricity network (so-called powerlines) in order to guarantee a good internet connection in the entire house. Powerlines are available from a number of Viking Deal partners. That way, you also earn Viking Points!
To make the best use of your Wi-Fi booster, it is best to put it in a central place between your internet box and the device that must be able to receive Wi-Fi. Turn the booster on, and check if the positioning light turns green. Is this not the case? Then place the booster closer to the internet box.
If you have an internal ethernet network at home, you can also connect the Wi-Fi booster to this via an ethernet cable to extend your Wi-Fi network or to connect a second device via the second port. Once you have turned on the Wi-Fi booster, the positioning light will turn blue. All done!
The Wi-Fi boosters use EasyMesh technology, which allows the boosters to connect to each other. This benefits the quality of the connection, and you will also be able to use your Wi-Fi within a larger area as a result. Thanks to Wi-Fi 6, your device will also automatically connect to the Wi-Fi booster that offers the best connection. From the moment two Wi-Fi boosters are installed, this option is active by default.
To use your Wi-Fi booster in the best possible way, keep a few things in mind:
Put it in the right place: ideally halfway between the Internet Box+ and the place where you want a better Wi-Fi signal.
In a different room from the Internet Box+. There's no use placing the booster too close to your modem. Rather, place it in another room or on another floor if you have more than one.
Make sure you have enough space: more than one meter from the ground, in an open space (e.g. on a piece of furniture) and preferably without too many obstacles between the modem and the booster (e.g. concrete walls, ceilings, closed doors, cabinets, mirrors, ...), because they can significantly weaken the Wi-Fi signal.
After installing your booster, check the positioning light:
Is it green? Then everything is fine!
Is it orange? Then it could be better... Try placing the Wi-Fi Booster+ closer to the Internet Box+.
Is it red? Then the connection between the booster and your modem is really not good. Place the booster closer to your modem and make sure there are as few obstacles as possible, also place the Wi-Fi Booster+ in height.
Set it up!
Just a few more steps and your Wi-Fi signal will reach from the basement to the attic!
