Wifi repeater Dual band on a single band source?

Jeff_120 · Sep 3, 2018

Hi
I have a DSL Modem wifi router with 2.4ghz band (single) and I want to add a repeater tplink Wifi to extend the network, will the dual band repeater be any good compared to a single band one? Or the repeater distribution channels are limited by the source which is a single band?

This would be a good read as well as this. Effectively a dual band repeater will receive signals off on radio and the send radio will send/extend the signal to your destination. Can you send a link to the repeater you're looking at?

if your router is 2.4GHZ and your repeater is 2.4/5ghxz, then set repeater to connect to source on the 2.4ghxz band and offer to connect to devices to the 5ghz. (yes that means you loose 2.4ghz for repeater connectivity)

And 5ghz is better for concrete walls?
