I'm not surprised you had issues with that wifi repeater. The way those kinds work, they just take an existing wifi signal and repeat it back out. This kills 50% of your bandwidth for devices connected to the repeater. A better option is a mesh network system (like anything on this list https://www.wired.com/story/best-mesh-wifi-routers/ https://www.wired.com/story/best-mesh-wifi-routers/). These are much smarter and can tolerate things like a node being taken down, so should work better than that repeater.
- sp332 3y agoI would second a mesh network system. They are far better than they were a few years back, with enough radios to keep everything fast and enough smarts not to step on each others' frequencies. Remember to keep them placed as centrally as you can, not on outside walls.
