1. An optimized limited-area WiFi network, comprising:
a wireless router for transmitting a wireless communication signal to facilitate Internet connectivity, a plurality of Internet connectable devices each adapted to receive said communication signal, and a robot constituting a dynamically positionable signal coverage enhancer configured with an onboard processor, a signal coverage enhancing element for generating signal which amplifies said communication signal, and mobile means,
wherein said signal coverage enhancing element comprises WiFi coverage level scanning means, electromagnetic emission level scanning means, and location recording means for each of the plurality of Internet connectable devices that are connected to said limited-area WiFi network,
wherein said robot is repositionable, by said mobile means in response to data detected by said signal coverage enhancing element and a resulting command signal transmitted by said processor, to:
a) a first location within said limited-area WiFi network whereat all of the plurality of Internet connectable devices that are connected to said limited-area WiFi network have an optimized WiFi coverage level and a minimum electromagnetic emission level at every first point in time and a first of the plurality of Internet connectable devices has solid WiFi coverage, and
b) a second location within said limited-area WiFi network whereat all of the plurality of Internet connectable devices that are connected to said limited-area WiFi network have an optimized WiFi coverage level and a minimum electromagnetic emission level at every second point in time and a second of the plurality of Internet connectable devices has solid WiFi coverage.
