Not necessarily true. You will just be stuck with a bad connection before your device drops it and switches to the other. This is not recommended; However, I would suggest using Ubiquity's gear. They have a mesh networking setup for only $89 per node. This setup is something I use and works very well. Mesh is a form of repeaters, but they are all "hard-wired" to your networking stuff via cable to give you the same speed on both sides of the house. Also, it will automatically manage the IP Addresses attached to them and reroute them accordingly. If you are in the US find them here:
