Question about Philips Hue Bridge

Hello We have the Hue Bridge on the 3rd floor and now want to install lamps on the ground floor. We want to control them via the TapDial. Is the configuration of the lamps with the Hue Bridge done via WLAN? We have a repeater downstairs (without an Ethernet connection). Do we have to expect restrictions for the function via the Hue Tap Dial? Does the Tap Dial communicate with the lamps via the Hue Bridge? Because then the distance to the Hue Bridge would be a little too great, as the WLAN from the upper router does not come down either. Many thanks and best regards

As far as I understand the Hue system, all components are only integrated via the bridge. Configuration is done via WiFi but function only guaranteed with ZigBee connection to the bridge. Due to the distance, you will need an additional bridge for the ground floor. The only problem is that you can't integrate two Hue bridges with one account for remote access. Philips promises to fix this over time. Function within the home WiFi network is not a problem. Attention - no more than 40 (50?) components per bridge!
