Choosing a Zigbee repeater

The Tradfri Control outlet have a TERRIBLE Zigbee radio. If you insist on Ikea get their Repeater which is inexpensive and has a good radio.

I believe both have the same radio.

[Release] Generic Zigbee Drivers with Presence and Recovery

I've seen that comment frequently, but I'm not sure that it is correct (at least according to Ikea's specs). The plug has a rated output of 14 dBm (see page 6). It probably uses the same chip as the repeater.
