    Or a typical AP - we run the cable FROM the router! and put the AP close enough to your computer that the wifi card installed there receives the signal from this AP.

    It comes off. While I can release 3-4 meters of cable from the computer, the router is in such a place that I cannot move it.

    Or APC (Access Point Client). So we connect the rj45 cable to the computer and the APC (APC must be located within the network of the main router) and deliver it to the computer via this cable.

    I tested this solution with the Actiny router and it was actually the best solution. I approached the router about 3 meters and that was enough. Especially that Actina (or any other router) probably has stronger antennas than a repeater or a USB network card (?) For 2 days, however, I could not find the cause of blocking on the Battlenet link, so I gave up. After returning the repeater, I will try APC, but with some other TP-Link. Thanks for advice.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the impact of 2.4 GHz WiFi repeaters on a 300Mbps network, particularly in the context of a user's home setup with a 30Mbps internet connection. The user seeks clarification on how using a repeater affects bandwidth, noting that it may reduce performance by half due to the nature of signal transmission. Responses highlight that while a repeater can stabilize the signal, it may also introduce latency and reduce effective throughput, especially in environments with interference. Suggestions include testing different configurations, considering alternative devices like access points, and the importance of positioning the router and repeater for optimal performance. The user ultimately plans to test a TP-LINK repeater and explore other options if necessary.
