The only situation where I suggest they try a range extender is trying to reach a metal garage or shop building, where they can put the extender in a window facing the house. The upsell from that is a Nanostation PTP link.

The only acceptable ‘extender’ scenario I’ve encountered was with Apple router and extender, but the extender was wired back to the router. Can’t see how a wirelessly connected extender is going to help much with speed. Maybe it’s antenna is better than the client antenna and can get better signal to the router, but then traffic is using two channels, or half duplex or something to extend wirelessly. Not sure there is much gained. It is always better in my opinion to centralize the existing router, or upgrade it to a better router with more power and lots more external antennas etc. From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joseph Marsh Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2015 4:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] 5 Wifi Extenders How big is this house ?
