This extender is kinda old so may not work well with newer wifi router systems.

The WN1000RP is a really old device. Released in 2012 and using N150 tech at that. So really slow. It maxed out around that 10mbps speeds (ish).
Not exactly even halfway fast. Any half decent new extender is going to be much faster. If you have a newer router, its probably faster than it by itself.
What are you using it for?
What router is it connected to?
