When using the WIFI Ranger or extenders do they take away WIFI from others that are using it in the campground? I have heard yes and no from a few people I have asked so thought I ask the experts.

Latency is the time it takes for the signal from your computer to get to the host computer and then back to your computer. It is basically a delay since electrons cannot travel instantly. The speed is how fast the signal travels once you are connected. If you type in speed test into your browser the first thing that happens is they ping your computer and measure the time in milliseconds, this is latency. Then they transmit the data and measure how fast it is going, which is your speed. If you have a satellite as your host then the latency will usually be unacceptably long. When you send a signal to Mars the latency is like 20 minutes.Isaac-1 said:Care to try to explain the difference between speed and latency now?
