just wanna share my experience...

my desktop pc internet is connected via repeater / range extender on 2nd floor...speedtest is showing 30+Mbps download speed for my 30Mbps package...is that not the true speed ?

Jusbella has got it all wrong.

If u have a repeater connected to a gigabit port, yes your speed will be halved, BUT to 500mbps max rated speed for WLAN. As in the max speed it can transfer and receive from the main router.

Which is why u can get ur full 30mbps and not just 15.

You will only start having issues, maybe if your internet speed is 300mbps and above. You might then see below full speed since 500mbps is the max theoretical speed, provided the repeater is connected to a gigabit LAN port to the router.

If its connected through wifi to the router, then of course its gonna be even worse than that, more often than not.

I think it is repeater get half of link speed, not actual speed as actual is derived by other variables too.

Eg:
Scenario1
Unifi 30mbps on Linkspeed 150mbps Wifi N 40mhz
Via Wifi N in distanced range get 30mbps
If use repeater, linkspeed dropped to 75mbps but still higher than capable so it is not bottlenecked. Can get wifi speed around 20-25mbps.

Scenario2
Unifi 100mbps on Linkspeed 150mbps Wifi N 40mhz
Via Wifi N in distanced range get 30mbps
If use repeater, linkspeed dropped to 75mbps but may be able to improve earlier result to 40-45mbps since linkspeed is 75.

Correct me if I'm wrong or optimize the value above if not realistic. This is subjective to wifi signaling, wifi performance of router, receiver device capability.

Dingdingding! We have a winner here biggrin.gif

Im not really agreeing with the numbers as its REALLY hard to really estimate the value you'd be getting in various situations due to how easily wifi signals can be affected by the environment. But the concept is correct
