I understand that I can expect some loss in performance (upward of half the “raw” speed), but what’s happening is that with the device directly I’m getting ~20Mbps, but through the repeater I’m barely able to connect to a website. speedtest.net, for instance, times out before I even get the “GO” button displayed. Firefox can’t even resolve DNS queries. And like I said, it seems to be sporadic. Right now it’s working fine but this morning it was unusable and I had to connect directly to the Mifi device (instantly getting back a ~20Mbps connection).
I’ll try the 150Mbps setting but I had assumed there was no point in trying that because the WAN side will never be able to get up to that speed…
