Will range extender increase or reduce network speed?
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Some articles said that the speed of RE will be cut into a half, especiall single-band RE. Would you tell if this is the true?
and also, if I bought an RE with higher speed than the router, will it increase the network speed of the network?
Thanks!

@Cherish.Chen Yes, that's right.
RE needs to receive data from router then forward to the PC/client, and vice versa. And this can not happen at the same time. Wireless communication is half-duplex! And we can not change this, even with higher speed on RE than router.

But some said that dual-band RE can get around this because the dual-band RE can use different bands to communite with the router and our connected devices at the same time. So what is the fact?
Does it decrease 50% or more speed?

and as you mentioned, RE with High speed mode can improve the speed. What about APS? What's the difference and which one is better?
