Recommend - wifi extender
I am using a Nighthawk® X6S Tri-Band WiFi Router. I want a wifi extender that is compatible and can be used to help boost a signal to a security camera located on a storage building a 150 ft away fr...
Something to keep in mind with single/dual band extender is that they drop throughput (speed) 50% because they have to send/recieve from router--->extender and then extender----->device using the same chip. And they can't do both at once.
so if you're hitting 47/22 you'll potentially end up with roughly 24/11 at the camera. A little less because of distance going from pole--->camera.
Which is better than you have and could potentially allow it to stream decently.
At the outlet I have 47.47 mpbs down and 22.6 upload. At the camera I have 1.56 down and 3.94 upload. It is windy outside today.
