“What is the major drawback in loss of mbps? I’m putting together a gaming room literally one room away from where my router is plugged up. I just can’t run the Ethernet to it practically. I’m worried about slower speeds with this option.”

The loss of mbps depends on your electrical wiring. This did not work well when I plugged the 2nd box into the master bedroom outlet where I really wanted to get the wifi expansion by setting up a router as an access point. That had a poor connection. Every other electrical circuit had a good connection. I ended up putting the access point (router) in the spare bedroom on the other side of the master bedroom. I subscribe to 200 mbps speed through Xfinity. Speed test next to the main router over wifi run 200+. Where I got maybe 34-50 mbps I now get 100+ in the master bed room. That is satisfactory for my uses.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
