EX2700

I've connected the EX2700 using WPS and it's solid green
Running the speed test ( Ookla ) straight from WIFI i get 450
with the extender i'm lucky to get 50! What's going on?

    whats going on is the EX2700 is a single band 2.4ghz device. 2.4ghz is a slow network. hitting 50mbps over the ex2700 is actually pretty great speed. Same with any other N300 extender. 

    I'd recommend reading the reviews on N300 extenders for expectations on how they perform.
