All you need is a decent dock and a Wi-Fi repeater with data a cable port.
Ofk, I’m on a family shared line and quite afar from the modem, so the results may definitely be better.
That’s still not nearly as good as you should be getting. My deck gets around 480+ Mb/s downloads over WiFi if I have a good wifi connection.
WiFi repeaters are not a great way to extend WiFi range and will def get you slower network speeds. So that’s probably why
A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That’s actually what I’m using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).
Wired is always better than wireless. You’ll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.
I would suggest a mesh router system rather than a repeater. A lot of Asus’s modern routers can be added to their mesh system, Netgear has a good system as well
Mesh routers are nothing to recommend lightly. Most are a complete headache to set up.
What? I’ve never had an issue setting them up
Lucky you.
I really miss Google’s original mesh router setup, it was so painless, almost plug and play. But of course, they bought a company and it got absorbed by their nest mesh system, which is more expensive and from what I understand more annoying. And now their old WiFi routers are in support limbo.
But if they can set up a repeater, I feel like they can setup a mesh system. I was able to do it through my Asus app on my phone pretty quickly. The only issue I had was with a used router I got off eBay being finicky about reliably remembering it’s mesh setup once it had been unplugged. Something wrong with the cmos or something.
Don’t spend all your wifi at once
