1. Environmental characteristics:
The duplex building is still a flat-floor apartment, or the office has many grid-shaped rooms and many obstacles. In this case, it is necessary to consider installing several repeaters to achieve WiFi coverage without dead spots.
2. Power supply mode:
The more common ones on the market are the USB interface and the plug for power. This user chooses according to their own needs. The mobility of the plug to take power is low, and the USB interface can be powered by a power bank or an adapter, which is relatively flexible.
3. Single frequency or dual frequency:
Judging from the wireless standards and wireless frequencies used by wireless repeaters, they are key indicators that determine signal strength and coverage. Wireless standards like 802.11ax and 802.11ac are superior to 802.11n wireless standards.
2.4GHz single-frequency repeater: good wall penetration, relatively cheap price, more susceptible to signal interference;
2.4GHz&5.8GHz dual-frequency repeater: faster wireless rate, better user experience, slightly more expensive than single-frequency repeater.
4. According to the superior main route selection:
Users need to choose the matching repeater according to the router in their home or office.
If it is a single-frequency router, you can choose a single-frequency repeater, and a dual-frequency router can choose a 2.4GHz&5.8GHz dual-frequency repeater. In this way, the maximum performance of the repeater can be better utilized.
5. Whether to support seamless roaming:
Whether the repeater supports seamless roaming, that is, within the wireless coverage of the router and repeater, it can automatically switch without interrupting manual reconnection, which is very convenient for users.
6. Ease of setting and opening:
After all, there are only a small number of technical control users in real life. Even if many people can operate step by step according to the instructions, they still cannot bear various tedious setting steps.
Therefore, the ease of use of the wireless repeater is very important. The setup process is simplified, and the operation is easy to use. Such a repeater has a better user experience.
7. Antenna:
If the user's environment is more complicated and blocked, it is recommended to buy a repeater with an external antenna, so that the wall penetration and signal strength may be better when used. But this does not mean that the wireless repeater with built-in antenna is not effective, the important thing is the performance of the product itself.
8. Repeater rate:
The main function of the wireless repeater is to expand the transmission range of the wireless signal. As the coverage of the wireless signal increases, the transmission speed bandwidth is actually divided into two halves. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase a combination of a wireless repeater and a wireless router with a relatively fast rate to make up for the loss in speed.
