ex6100 speed stuck at 150mbps

I just completed the setupe for the range extender and have been testing sppeds throughout the house on the old 5g and new ext5g.

when in the same room as the router on 5g from router speed is 300mbps, when on the 5g ext speed form extender is 150mgps max.

 

Are settings that need changed to fix this?

    Is this measured throughput, or are you reporting the wifi link speeds? 

     

    Is the router 802.11n, or is it 802.11ac?

      router is 802.11n

      speed I am reporting is from the wifi access connection

      right now 300mbps on 5ghz from router wifi 

      and 150mbps when on the ext5g exntender channel

        That would be the link speed. 

         

        Can you try measuring throughput with speedtest.net, and see how that compares?

         

        Also, check the link speed again after speedtest.net finishes.
