5. Why does the wireless transmission rate speed down, while the wireless signal is
stronger after repeated by TL-WA830RE?
In compliance with the wireless transmission protocol, all the Range Extender devices are set
to work in half-duplex instead of full-duplex mode. In other words, the Range Extender has to
process one-way communication between your root Wireless Router (or AP) and the terminal
clients; so the transmission time will be double-increased, while the speed will be half-
decreased.
TP-LINK recommends that you connect to the Range Extender when your home network
connection is poor, or when you want a larger wireless coverage to eliminate “dead zones”.
