What I mean is that a simple repeater cuts the available wireless bandwidth for all wireless devices (including the router) in half.
Per my earlier post, what actually happens is:
Transmit packet 1 Repeat packet 1 Transmit packet 2 Repeat packet 2 ... Instead of:
Transmit packet 1 Transmit packet 2 Transmit packet 3 Transmit packet 4 ... When the repeater is transmitting a repeat packet, the wireless network is unavailable to any other wireless transmitter, including the wireless router. That's why I recommended a remote wireless Ethernet bridge cabled to a wireless access point on a different non-overlapping channel, which avoids have the available wireless bandwidth cut in half.
