Crossband Repeating – Brief definition

Speed advantage through Crossband Repeating: By simultaneously utilizing the 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi frequencies, transmission rates in the WiFi network are increased, as sending and receiving can occur in parallel.

Repeaters that only operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency band first receive data packets from the router and then forward them to the WiFi client on the same frequency. While this results in a great range, it also leads to a drop in speed. Crossband Repeating avoids these speed losses.

What is Crossband Repeating?

If a repeater supports crossband repeating, it can utilize data much more efficiently. If the data at the repeater's node flexibly switches from the 2.4 GHz band to the 5 GHz band, there is no loss in speed.


The reason: The repeater can send and receive data simultaneously – and independently of each other. This greatly increases the data speed in the home network.
