Not great performance, but they did provide connectivity. The key to using wifi extenders is that they need to have a clear signal receiving from the main router to be able to then re-transmit to the computer. Mesh networks have intelligence that negotiates the signal balancing to reduce any conflicts among the various transmitter/receivers in the mesh. Repeaters lack that backchannel process and can sometimes have issues with conflicts between the main router and the extender. When I have seen that, I just moved the extender closer to the target Mac to have the Mac "prefer" the extender over the main Mac. Sometimes it only took a few feet closer to clear up the connection.</blockquote>
