AC1200 Range Extender speed slow
Ok, here it is we set it up in Repeater mode it is slow we are not talking sometimes the signal degrades a bit I mean Router Speed test is 65 and the repeater is 1.9 so slow we can not get a upload speed at all. the device is set in the next room. Now we do have another Extender set up a To extender and though there is a bit of loss we get a speed test from 40 to 45 download and upload 15 to 20
we are talking super massive loss we got this New Extender because the other one had what appeared to be much better specs but the 2 set up even in the same room the Ac1200 is very very slow down loads no upload and frequently disconnects completely. it works this way in wif or with using an r cable plugged into the LAN port and to the PC.
so far an overall bad experience mind you we are on Cable paying for there top their speed package for the internet we do Live streaming and Video Content Creation Daily here this Device we can do nothing. at this point.

A little bit vague, what AC1200 extender model, and last but not least what WiFi on the router? Here is a list for your reference.
What status does the extender show?
Not convinced - considering your usage in general including live streaming, and taking the fact you have invested in a fast Internet contract - a) a plain repeater mode, and b) multiple extenders in some kind of cascade is a recipe for a nightmare.
DUAL BAND WiFI AP Router Repeater AC 1200M Gigabit This is about all the info On the Box I have it can work as an Extender, Access point, and a Router its small white has 4 antennas 3.4G and 5 G
Something like this? Does not look like a Netgear product:
1200M DUAL-BAND WIFI-EXTENDER / ROUTER / ACCESS POINT
