Yes know the repeater is using 1 band up 1 band down so its peak is lower, but as EM diminishes to square of distance, its still twice the bandwidth if you put it half way. Say a unit distance of 2 has bandwidth 1/4th, becomes a unit of distance of 1 which 1/2 bandwidth each side, so 1/2 is double 1/4.

Very much worthwhile.

Thanks for the tip! This is a good idea for an old router. Just one point to note that the repeater’s WiFi speed may be reduced (depending on the router). In the case of the Velop and other mesh networks, throughput is more consistent throughout each node.

I researched a faster router and seems they don’t penetrate through the many walls.

So I found a FREE way, I had an old router and it supported DD-WRT and I followed this guide to make it a bridged repeater. Free! And it took me only 10 minutes. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge
