Hey liron, I am enquiring for someone who lives on a property with multiple buildings.

Where would the repeater or extender be placed? Would it even work?

I watched this earlier today and then went over for dinner at my parents' house. They have an extender that (we thought) was useless trash. But we didn't know about the extender's own WiFi. Or that it should be connected to the router with an ethernet cable. I ran one from the router, then found the extender's WiFi. Connected and now they have awesome fast WiFi even in the back not their yard where it was crap before! Thanks for the tip. A life saver.

i use an Extender, and i use the existing disused coax cable to connect the router, and i have a cat5e cable from the extender to my desktop. Coax gives you a 3.5Gigabit/second instead of a 1Gps backhaul with LAN. It makes a big difference because I was only getting 5ooMbpsup/down with LAN, and with coax it's consistantly 950-980mbps close the advertised 1Gbps. So, if you used to have cable in your home and don't susbscribe anymore, but still have the cables left, same goes for satellite, this is a very easy option for you. Just wanted to share in hopes that it may help someone. Love you liron!

Lekker video! Excellent summary. It's important to realize there's going to be a speed loss when you use a repeater. One of the uncommon uses of these repeaters is using it as a wireless to wired bridge to connect a device without a wireless adapter. One of my computers keeps dropping the connection with a USB wireless adapter but a direct ethernet connection to the port at the bottom of a "cheap" repeater holds the connection. I guess "slower and steady" sometimes beats "fast but flakey".

My only point of confusion is if an extenders whole purpose is to make wifi far away from the router better, but you still need it to be hard wired to the router for it to actually be better, that makes the whole situation a lot harder because most people (including me) don’t know how to run an Ethernet cable through walls and across hallways and I don’t wanna see it strapped to the ceiling either so what am I supposed to do?

Extenders will let you connect an ethernet (LAN) cable to it. Repeaters don't. Most extenders can be set-up to act as a repeater, as shown @ 3:32. Repeaters usually only have one function. Also, most modern routers can be set-up to act as either an extender or a repeater, so if you happen to have a spare, try to use that first. So in conclusion: Router > Extender > Repeater.

Hi. Interesting report..I have recently checked a few extenders...I found that the 2.4 output is lower as you found but on the ethernet connector there is no loss in speed while still receiving the wifi signal....also on a dual band unit the 5 output is also good ...so the problem appears to be when repeating the 2.4 signal...basically a design issue

[@fuckundyamans]

thats because the 2.4 is for longer range and little slower whereas 5 is for short range and really strong.

[@annaingridzuric]

it's the signal hop as well, when the wifi signal is transmitted and received using a particular frequency for the modem router and extender to communicate, the speed is cut essentially. If you know how to assign different frequency for tx and rx, it should lessen the signal hop lost.

We live in a cabin on the owner's property and were getting wifi from a wireless extender about 30 feet from the house and the speeds averaged 10mbs up and 4 mbs down. I had a spool of CAT5E cable from a house build and finally the landlord connected it on his end. Now we have, like the video mentioned, a new Access Point with a unique _EXT name. The speeds are 90 MBS down and 16MBS up (that's likely the max speed for the service since we live in the country on an island). I am so happy. Just a note that it didn't work at first because I used the whole length of wire despite needing only about 60m. The max length is about 100m, so I shortened it. I'm so happy to have a reliable and fast signal.

[@bilbot8195]

Your video is very clear and well explained. However, vendors are not as clear, and it's hard really to find proper explanation as to how their wifi "extender/repeater" will connect to the box. For example, the trendy RE455 has lots of antennas and Mbps, but it's not clear as to how many 2.4 et 5 antennas there are really. It seems only one 2.4 and one 5 (even though called "dual-band", which only means it's 2.4 and 5, which is lame), so it connects to the box with the same antennas used to spread the new EXT wifi network, so bandwidth divided by 2. What do you think? Would you recommend a specific wifi repeater?

Great Video! But "usage" is something to keep in mind as well!

At "grandma's" house to run a LAN cable through cement/crawl spaces/Drill Hole in Walls...the extender (or even repeater) makes more sense! Still get dependable wifi signal, can surf all day No Drilling Holes! True, maybe "gamers" might find the slower speed a problem, but surfing web, view KZbin, doing bank business, checking/writing email and a whole HOST of other things, WILL NOT BE AFFECT by the Extender/Repeater performance! You're looking at absolute "Technical Data"...not practicality! Most likely, only GAMERS will notice the slower speed! General KZbin viewing, emails, Amazon browsing, Ebay buying, Banking business...are unimpacted! Really great info of the overall differences! Thanks!

[@megalonoobiacinc4863]

actually its a myth that gamers need high speed, really speed doesn't matter that much since games online uses minimal bandwidth. However what matters is ping (time for signal to to destination and back again) and internet stability, and if someone is watching netflix on a router that has low speed, the gaming person will be affected the most.

[@Monahandsom3]

If you’re only trying to get better signal for one device that’s too far, look into AC Power line adapters. It’s two adapters that each plug into the wall and pair up. Run an Ethernet cord from adapter to router, and another from other adapter to your device. Be sure to connect devices directly to the wall. You will probably lose out on some of your maximum internet speeds, but you will gain the consistency in signal of Ethernet. I don’t know how well these devices would work in combination with an extender the way he was saying run a LAN cable to it, but it could be worth a try. The power line adapters aren’t super expensive and are very easy to set up

[@chrisr3120]

A lot of people don't really understand much about how all this networking stuff works. When you say your wifi is bad, you are wrong. Your wifi is just the wireless communication between your device and the wireless access point built into your router. That connection ought to be just fine, unless there is some serious radio interference going on, which there probably isn't. But, once your device communicates with your router, your router then relays that communication out of your local network and onto the internet through your service provider. Now, when it comes to the bandwidth, a wired in-network connection is always the highest bandwidth, wifi's bandwidth is a bit more restricted, and the coaxial or other connection out to the ISP is usually the bottleneck in the network. This is largely because ser ice providers handle a large amount of data, and interestingly enough really don't have infrastructure that is all that much more robust than we do, they just have a lot more of it. So the bandwidth of one fiber optic cable might be divided across an entire neighborhood. What is most likely going on is one of a few things: 1. Somebody has managed to get on your wifi and is using up all your bandwidth. 2. One of your devices may have a background process you aren't aware is running eating up all your bandwidth (I had this problem myself) 3. Your wifi is recieving some kind of interference, possibly from other wifi signals in the area that are set to the same channel. 4. If none of the above is the case, the problem is likely on your service provider's end.

I tried connecting my router to my TP-Link RE230 extender using Lan cable (access point) and the speed is still weak and sometimes I lose internet connection. WHat should I do?

[@chrisford8403]

When people use a second router wired to the first is this functionally the same as an extender? Is one setup preferable to the other?

[@Kemachris]

First question: Maybe, depends on how they set up their routers, but in most cases yes that is the common reason for doing that, you could with the right routers create a "real" Wireless Network, with bridged SSID, so it is literally the same network being broadcast, but i am not sure these features even exist in common consumer routers, and even then it would be an odd use case, and the "right" way to go about it, would be a proper access point. Second: Neither is preferable. You will see disconnects when your device has to switch between the networks. What you should look at for a private use case would be Mesh, which is the "right" way of doing it.

I've got my extender in my room upstairs about 3 ft away from my playstation 4 . The router is downstairs in the front room!!! Soooooo it needs to be LAN connected to the router????

[@prd1105]

It’s always best to run cable to your router for gaming

[@theeguy9022]

When it comes to gaming the best stuff is wired alwyas get wired

[@YeahWhatever30]

If your extender is 3 feet from your PS4 there probably isn't much difference in how strong the wifi from your router is at either and you are making the signal go through an extra device for no reason. Like he said you need to have the extender in a good location to pick up the original wifi signal. If you find a place half way between you router and PS4 that would probably give you better results.

[@braden6402]

You would want to split the difference from the router and your ps4 for placement of the extender for optimum performance without a cable. Me personally I always used wireless for online gaming without any issues but wired is supposed to be better.

[@AshtonDwyer]

Im watching this video from one wifi repeater thats at 80db and the extender at 76db at 480p no buffering. 🤷‍♀️ Miracle it even works to be honest.

[@zenithstar11]

But that is why we need the wifi extender where the wires cannot reach...far far away

Thanks for the video. Out here in rural MN we are only dealing with 3 mbps to maybe 12 mbps download speed. No where near where you are. It's not much to work with, sadly.

Hi Liron, that told me what I wanted to know, thank you 👍

[@domcorleone66]

Thanks for the information and clarification!! Great video!!

[@jheyem]

what if i connect my ethernet cable from the extender to my pc?

[@MKMadness]

Then it’s using the extender as your internet access point.

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

a wireless extender and repeator do the same thing, what you need to understand is how it works! there is Desense when you do it wirelessly!.. think of it this way, your in a room with 500 people yelling and your trying to only hear your 1 friend yelling at you, its hard wirelessly.. BUT if you phone him (wired connection) you can talk to him clearly!! What you need to do wirelessly is to setup the extender to router in 5G and have connections to the extender in 2.4G! this will greatly increase your speed!.. i could write it all out but would take several pages!!

[@chavensonlaurent8221]

How do you make it so your connections to you extender are 2.4ghz?

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

One thing for sure, I have a computer in room number 1, room number 2 has nothing and the router is in room number 3. All 3 rooms are lined up. I have a 100 Mbps router, if I take my laptop from room number 1 and place it near the router I get almost 100 Mbps. In room number 1 which is my room the most I get is 40 Mbps. I bought a wifi extender and I get about 85 to 90 Mbps in room number 1. The extender is 5G, and it has 2 ethernet ports. Most of the time I use the laptop in one place, so I connected to the ethernet port. If I need to move, just remove the cable and wifi takes over automatically.

[@yyip7796]

My extender works wirelessly for at least 800 ft how could I run a cable through the city a block away

[@bmlove81]

The extender does not have to be plugged in.

[@davidl242]

Noob question. Why would it be called an extender then if LAN is hard wired? That’s pretty much just another wireless router then? I have a few security cameras outside which gets crapy signal, don’t have a hard wire downstairs, is it worth getting an extender then?

[@LironSegev]

its an extender as its EXTENDS the hard-wired network. So you "start" the wifi at the edge of the extension which means you start off with the full network speed vs. using a WiFi Repeater which starts of by picking up the poor wifi signal and trying to repeat that.

[@wingandhog]

My ISP modem and WiFi router is located in a separate building home office about 100’ from my house. I use old WiFi routers in my house as access points. Seems to work well. I also have several T-Link extenders that are not being used right now.

[@bosschungles]

I purchased a WiFi extender but our wifi router/hub is in such an awkward place at the bottom of the furthest corner of our house behind a door which leads to a hallway and as I'm not permitted to do any renovating or anything related to that I can't stretch a lan cable through the doors and hallways, so the extender being used wirelessly will be my only option, but they still seem to increase speeds significantly. We get 260mbps all round the house with my room being the ONLY dead spot in the entire house, getting 0.5-8mbps if I'm lucky in my room in particular, So hopefully it will help

Hi just installed an extender without cable. And I just watched your video. My question is … is the extender able to boost my signal higher than what my internet provider plan is.
