That would depend upon how the repeater is configured in terms of how the internal OS handles devices that are both associated with it. It could just turn the packets around making it two hops. -- Zaragon Zaragon's

Network usage is measured over time rather than instantaneously. (If you think about it a network is either 100% in use or 0%). If you are using a repeater then, depending upon it's type, you could be having significant retries between the AP and repeater that isn't seen at either end. This would
