I have a wifi dead zone near my front door and need a good signal for my Ring doorbell. Can I plug a wifi booster in to an extension lead or does it have to be plugged directly in to the socket?

If it's a 'powerline' booster (using the mains to carry the signal) it should work in an extension lead as long as it's not a fancy 'surge-protected' or 'shielded' one. If it's a simple receive/transmit wifi booster then it will work anywhere that it can get a signal from your router.
