Repeater range

Hello, I bought a repeater because the Wi-Fi was struggling to cover the whole house (according to speedtest: 300mb/sec at the box vs 50mb/sec in the furthest room). There are two sockets in the hallway that could be used to install the repeater: one that gets 250mb (the closest to the box) and one that gets 150mb (the closest to the room). Will the choice of socket make a big difference, in your opinion? Have a nice day.

    Hello,

    It seems to me that it's faster to just take the test than to ask a question on a forum ;-)

    Ideally, the repeater should be equidistant from the transmitter and the destination.

    Hello,

    Two sockets ... are you talking about power sockets for powerline modems or powering your repeater? In that case, it's not the socket that receives, but the repeater, or are you referring to Ethernet sockets for Wi-Fi access points?

    How do you know the speeds you are reporting?

    If you only need to cover this room, it might be better to consider running an Ethernet cable; there are very discreet ones that are relatively easy to install.

    And there you go ....

    But goodness, those line breaks are so annoying!!
