WiFi booster speed is slow
As the title says my WiFi booster upload/download is significantly slower than when a device is connected directly to the main router.
I previously had a slower broadband package and it didn't matter which "box" a device ran on as they both ran at the same speed. Since upgrading I get roughly 200mbps when connected to the router but I get around 75mpbs when the WiFi booster is on.
If of any note, this is around the same speed my old WiFi used to run at before the upgrade.
Any help appreciated,
Chris

Re: WiFi booster speed is slow
A booster is only as good as the backhaul link to it. Your are almost always going to experience a loss of speed to a booster because it has to feed off a WiFi connection back to the Sky hub so essentially the available bandwidth of that particular WiFi network gets cut in half.
