Repeater works great with my R7500 in the 2.4 Ghz band. No disconnections or other disturbances. However, only max. 145Mbit (sounds obvious - halved bandwidth for Up / Down). Reach more than 10 meters by 2-3 clay walls. The signal strength indicator is also quite handy and also true. The box should be as close as possible to the router away more than 2-3 feet away. Otherwise makes the whole no sense. If the repeater already poor reception finally one must not be surprised by crashes, little throughput etc. The client from the repeater may like to be far away, but the repeater belongs close to the router - is the small 1x1 of the WLAN radio.
