Wifi Extenders That Do Not Decrease Speed

Are extenders that DO NOT decrease speed and actually work?

pleman,

It looks like these are 3 affordable options that would work, although I definitely do not want overkill.

BTW, when everything comes in, I will have a Ring Doorbell 2, Spotlight Cam in the front of the house, a Stickcam on the sides of the house and the back, Floodlight Monitors in the back, and Spotlight monitors on each side of the house, and the lights will work off a bridge from Ring.

It looks to me, even if I use the powerline, I can plug the bridge into that and have it closer to the lights.

It looks like 2 of them have items in the amazon warehouse for a cheaper price if you were looking. I've had good luck with amazon warehouse products and they have a 30 return on warehouse items. Just a thought. All of them should be decent options for what you're trying to accomplish. I tend to go overkill but thats just a personal preference. :) Hope it works great for you!

Thanks again for your patience and understanding. I could plug my bridge into the extender, correct?

  I've never used ring. But I've used the external ports on extenders and powerline adapters and the ethernet ports have all been easily used.
