  1. Wireless network printer
    Printing isn’t as prevalent as it used to be, but the
    Raspberry Pi can help you transform that chunky old
    USB printer in your closet into a networked printer that
    every device in your house can use.
    You’ll need a power source for each gadget,
    obviously, as well as a USB connection between the
    devices, but setting it up is pretty straightforward. This
    MakeUseOf tutorial walks you through the process step
    by step – fave.co/2vY4vFp.

  2. Extend your home’s Wi-Fi network
    Raspberry Pi doesn’t make the home networks you use,
    but it can make the home networks you use better if
    you configure the mini-PC as a wireless range extender,
    tapping into the device’s ethernet and USB ports.
    Doing so can help your Wi-Fi signal reach the farthest
    corners of your house and help wipe out dead zones.
