Please suggest which wifi extender is best suitable? I went to jb hifi but confused with many versions..I just need one on my upstairs for work from home.
Also can I be able to use the bill for my tax deduction($299) as I am using it mostly for work purposes?
Thank you
by design a wifi range extender will halve your speeds
+1 For twix's suggestion of a mesh system
But what if the wifi extender is configured to connect to the main AP via . say .. 5Ghz and then all clients connect to the extender on the 2.4 with same SSID name as the main AP ? Will that also halve bandwidth?
Yes, you get half the speed between devices on your LAN, but you will get max internet speed. I have a wifi extender and get the full 100Mbps+ download speeds.
Internet speed was the important thing for me.
Not all Wi-Fi extenders were created equally. For $299 a mesh system is the better choice.
Agreed that not all are created equal. This is mine and it is excellent:

If you use the wifi extender downstairs, or do any personal stuff upstairs, then you can only claim a portion of the cost of the extender.
Buy a mesh network it will be worth it. I have google mesh and it was worth it.
Check if you can expense it with your company. Mine did. Better to get 100% discount :)
What field of work are you in?
if you need high bandwidth a mesh system performs much better than a Wi-Fi extender.
You can claim WFH items on tax. Speak to your tax agent.
