Oh, I should clarify; this is more than send and receive - there’s some amount of network routing involved with being a Wi-Fi extender or relay or whatever.
What I probably meant to say is one antenna cannot send/receive simultaneously on more than one network.
But, yes, duh, thank you for calling me out on that one!
Well, technically that’s not a “hotspot”. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s a Wi-Fi extender.
And a poor Wi-Fi extender as well, since you halve your network bandwidth by using an extender with a single radio chip.
I’ve only seen that option on phones with two radios, it uses the 2.4GHz radio for one connection and the 5GHz radio for the other
That’s kinda required. I doubt one antenna can simultaneously send and receive.
Anyway, there’s still only one controller, so your bandwidth is still halved.
An antenna can absolutely send and receive at the same time. It’s called duplex .
