Would like to get some feedback on wifi range extender.
I am currently using ASUS wifi router and planning to get a wifi range extender. Will there be an issue/ downside if the wifi range extender is of different brand? This post has been edited by goliath: Jun 18 2020, 05:21 PM |

Hi all... I am currently using Tenda MW6 but the speed that I am getting is around 350mbps (out of 500mbps) despite standing beside it.
If I use the Huawei HG8145X6 router (provided by TIME), I am able to get close to 450mbps but it drops to 150mbps when I am in my room while Tenda MW6's speed lingers around 300mbps or so. Hence, I am wondering if Asus ZenWiFi XD5 (which suits my limited budget) is better replacement in this case. |
