I was told that using a wifi booster will cut my download/upload speeds in half. However, after setting up a booster and running a speed test on my original network and the booster network, there was a negligible difference (the ping was a bit better on the original network, 48ms vs 59ms, but the down/up speeds were virtually identical). What's going on here? Why am I not seeing the slowdown? Does the slowdown just refer to ping? And if so, what are the practical implications of this? I guess I should stick to my original network when playing online games etc, but does higher ping matter when doing things like streaming HD video?
