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

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
i guess mine falls under Scenario-1...FYI my repeater / range extender is TP-Link plug on 2nd floor and desktop pc is connected to it via Wifi...
i am just wondering why still can get 30Mbps on speedtest and not 15Mbps (half speed) ...i am noob on IT
