Multiple Range Extender WN3000RP ?
Hi I have a simple question. Can i use more then one Range Extender WN3000RP(Or another Range Extender) on the same Network? Thank you Janeca
WiFI CSMA/CA protocols prevent simultaneous transmission from devices sharing the same channels (or overlapping channels), devices have to ‘listen’ and wait for clear air-time before transmitting. So any device with a single radio will by default reduce throughput by half, do this twice and throughput would be less than a quarter. Add losses due to range and obstacles and double repeating can be very problematic and disappointing.
