alright i was checking in case you could get similar brand but nah, that extender is well rated, i would probably do a speed test before on ooklah to see if its an issue with the provider instead first before spending money
its pretty solid 90% of the time and apps like discord or google stuff are fine but i just randomly teleport in games everyone once in a while
speeds look decent , so yeah it may be some interference , the range extender can be used technically 3 different ways
as an access point, so only you connect to it like a personal router connected to the main router , so only you connect to that wifi signal, as a router to extender to pc all wifi, or router to extender as wifi and extender to pc via ethernet
do you think it would be drastically better if i did that?
before when i tried to use the extender or any version besides the base router for my internet the ping was like 100 on all servers and not great connection
like 2 bars
If you use it as access point , its wired to the router with ethernet and you are the only one using the wifi signal from it nobody else slowing you down or causing lag from you to the router, if you use it as a range extender , you are making it more easy since no wires but adding third hop, and if you use it wired to pc via internet , its like a bigger wifi antenna that appears as ethernet , so varies
have you tried speed test near it with phone with the ooklah app to see if ping changes
does this make sense ?
yeahh except wiring it to the pc
it can only get around 10 feet or so away before its at max range and i would say im about 60 away through 2 surfaces so how would it reach?
