I’ve recently suggested a wifi extended/repeater to a friend of mine as his wifi signals stuggles to reach his room. I’ve read about wifi repeaters and suggested one to my Friend. He bought one hearing my suggestion and fu*ked up.
The repeater caused huge jitter and latency and made the internet unusable. Luckily he doesn’t remember who suggested it🤷♂️
Repeaters can add fuel to the fire if there’s already a lot of access points around. Especially on 2.4ghz which has limited number of channels. It can be helped by reducing the transmitting power on all devices.
Id rather recommend the wall plugs (they connect to wall power socket and transmit Internet over power wires via RF), if you can’t run Ethernet.
I really hate repeaters and would rather do the work to run cable to another access point.
But on your point I did recommend a survival game for my friend group to play after playing a little and we all bought it and played for a month and then no one wanted to play it after so I feel like my recommendation was not great.
Just replay stardew valley like a real adult
Sounds like you got a month out of it. Hopefully the hours are worth it
Maybe it was set to the same wavelength as the router and cause destructive interference. IME repeaters work quite well if you don’t have any other option.
