not referring to anyone bro. just a message or point to him that impossible he can get 1:1 of his subscription speed if he extend the network with wifi mesh or extender, correct me....unless on LAN cable or ethernet backhaul. i admit i'm don't know much on wifi since my era with internet only begin late 90's.
Nothing to do with 1:1. Think of his internet connection as a pipe, fatter pipe give faster flow. The wifi connection is another pipe. That pipe can be bigger than the internet connection pipe.Extending with mesh is connecting multiple pipes to each other, as long as the thinnest pipe is as fat as the internet connection pipe he can get 1:1 speed. Depends on which is the thinnest pipe (which is why ethernet backend is almost always better, but a strong 5G backend is almost as good).
Extender on the other hand is well known to halve the speed of the wifi. But if the wifi pipe before extender is double the fatness of the internet pipe, this isn't really a problem.
Of course, for gaming the longer the pipe the more latency la.... but that's a different thing from speed (pipe size).
