I did this with my old router and as others have said it effectively cuts throughput in half. Depending on your usage though it might not be a big deal. I only connected mine so I could get a signal in the front yard. It's fine for surfing the web or watching YouTube
If we can at least do that (do simple web crawling and watching YouTube), that'd be enough for me. Thanks for sharing your experience.
