EX7000 Extender 2.4 ghz maximum output
How could I achieve maximum output for the 2.4Ghz band? No matter what I do I am getting 217 Mbps. Should I use a Netgear router to achieve the maximum output speed? Right now I am using a Xfinity Router from Comcast. I need better speed on this band because I have 4 outdoors wireless cameras with voice so I need the 600 Mbps on this band. The cameras does work on the 5 Ghz band which is giving me a full 1300 Mbps capable speed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am sorry, I should have said it does not work with 5Ghz, the cameras works only on 2.4Ghz.

Hello Tony2360
The best way to get the full speed is if you can run a ethernet cord from your router to your extender and run it in AP mode.
