EX6200v2 Has 1/3 bandwidth of cable modem (ARRISGW)

I'm getting 46 mps on my ARRIS Cable modem WiFi.

But when I connect through the extender it drops to 12 mbs.

 

Is there a way to incease the communictiona between the Extender and the Cable Modem.

 

Wireless Mode: B/G/N Mixed

2.4 ghz and 5 ghz

Security mode: WPA2-PSK (AES) 

Signal strenght 100% on both devices. 

Testing using internetfrog.com/speedtets.

 

Thank you for any insights..

    Hello uspsureshot

     

    With the extender you are always going to get less speed but you can always try to change wireless channels on the main router to try and get a better signal to the extender.
