I’ve recently suggested a wifi extended/repeater to a friend of mine as his wifi signals stuggles to reach his room. I’ve read about wifi repeaters and suggested one to my Friend. He bought one hearing my suggestion and fu*ked up.

The repeater caused huge jitter and latency and made the internet unusable. Luckily he doesn’t remember who suggested it🤷‍♂️

    I really hate repeaters and would rather do the work to run cable to another access point.

    But on your point I did recommend a survival game for my friend group to play after playing a little and we all bought it and played for a month and then no one wanted to play it after so I feel like my recommendation was not great.

      I hate that. The absolute worse is when a friend buys me a game for all two weeks of gameplay. Since then, I make sure my friends actually want the game before money is spent
