Model: RE205  
Hardware Version: V7
Firmware Version:

I have an EAP 225 but it has a problem, its 2.4GHz is only giving 1MBps rate, I tried troubleshooting the problem first but I just can't figure out the problem, so I decided to just buy a repeater "RE205" to be exact and use it to connect onto my EAP 225 5GHz then repeat it which would include the 2.4GHz....

Hello, theoretically, you can connect the RE205 to the EAP225 to boost the wifi signal, while the speed from the RE205 may be affected by the performance of the EAP225.

 

Considering the speed from EAP225 is slows, it is suggested to do some troubleshooting on it first.

thanks for the reply, I have another question, a neighbor of mine wants to connect to my WiFi Hotspot "EAP 225" via a voucher can he use the RE205 repeater to connect to my EAP 225 as his house a bit out of range.

Hello, the RE205 does not support voucher; while theoretically, the devices connected to the RE205 can access itself and the EAP225 both.
