Thanks for the great videos, i used your advice when tweaking my asus mesh system, I wired my roof and installed a modem and 4 nodes in the shape of a 5 on a dice (very large home) and used your advice when adjusting db changeover for 2.4 and 5ghz, worked an absolute treat, my devices swap over just the right amount now. and all my cameras stick to the closest node. Ty TY
How about entirely passive back to back antennas ? probably one band, but could be > 1. 8 dB more for many things like a dense hotel in known spots ( rooms ) is a possible scenerio. ????????
Thaks for making this videos, there are realy helpfull. I got a TP-LINK with only one band to repeat the signal from the main router. With the ddwrt firmware and ethernet cable i get up to 80mbps but only 10mbps wireless, and with the tp-link firmware i get 60mbps with ethernet and 30mbps wireless.
It's possible but not recommended! If you manage the radio well, know which band to use for backhaul and which band to use for clients, and ensure that repeaters are not daisy-chained to each other but are instead connected directly to the main router, it could be alright. However, if you just randomly place repeaters here and there, it might not provide good results. I have a video on dual-band repeaters that explains why. Thanks.
Hey great video 😊 I have a Starlink but it's wifi is way too short to cover everything I need. It doesn't have a LAN port. My estimate is that I need about 3 extenders to cover everything, 2 of which should be able to connect directly to the Starlink so they will HOP only once. Do you have any recommendations of what kind of repeaters should I use?
Thanks, I don't have starlink but if I'm not wrong you can get an Ethernet (lan) adapter! If that's possible I would do that and avoid using multiple repeaters.
@@Behfor Thx for the reply. The thing was, its for my friend who rents a big place in the middle of nowhere. Since the guest arrive today I had to use 3 repeaters because there's no time to wait for the adapter. Works ok, not great, not terrible. Long term solution is to order an adapter.
I have a question. All my devices are connected to one router asus gs-ax3000 , and from the Asus router, I connected to the Huawei Mesh router on the second floor. Is this good?
Dear Sir, I have watched many of your videos. You are smart with knowledge and have style. Thank you for teaching. The antennas on 6GHz band could have higher gain (9 dBi) to improve the distance. 320 MHz channel bandwidth WiFi7, on 6GHz band will be excellent for wireless repeater with low latency. 160 MHz channel bandwidth WiFi6 and 6E, 5 and 6Ghz is good for wireless repeater. Kind regards Jose
@Behfor. AX86U Pro wired by cable Cat6 is still an exellent choice. The WiFI7 "MLO" Multi-Link Operation for wireless repeater will be better.for people who cannot install J45 cable or fiber optic cable with adaptors.(expensive).
In my experience the best way is to have a mesh with a wired back haul
Thanks for sharing 🙂

Glad to hear that! Thanks a lot for sharing 🙂👍👍
Great information. Thank you.
Glad you liked it 👍

You're very welcome, glad they are helpful 👍🏻😊
@behfor Please is it possible to use multiple dual band WiFi repeaters to cover a larger area?
It's possible but not recommended! If you manage the radio well, know which band to use for backhaul and which band to use for clients, and ensure that repeaters are not daisy-chained to each other but are instead connected directly to the main router, it could be alright.

I still wonder if mesh wifi is technically fancy repeater
Wireless mesh? Basically, though usually has some fancier algorithms and shit

I have in my bedroom 5ghz mi router 3 and I get the full speed from downstairs
That's great!
@@Behfor yes, just change the settings if the original wifi and its fine
thanks for this video.
so bottom line... repeater is still not perfect solution. i guess there still no solution to Sticky client issue... sad.
Glad you liked it, thanks!
I’m like 90% of people. We simply want a device that wirelessly extends our WIFI signal :(
A perfect method to get mediocre results. You are right, you are like most people...
@ ..i’m glad you recognize the room for better technology (“..we can put a man on the moon..” 😆)
You actually broke it down
