Hey, DarrenM.
The connection to the existing bands are: 2G - 115Mbps, 5G - 701Mbps. Signal strengh is great between the gateway and the extender.
I just connected to the 2G extension from my desktop machine and the speed shows as 144Mbps.
Just found this thread: https://community.netgear.com/t5/WiFi-Range-Extenders-Repeaters/Netgear-Wifi-booster-and-iPhone-hate-each-other/td-p/1222838
I don't have the bands bridged, but I'm experiencing the same problem. I'm not sure if this guy ever found a fix, but it appears that iphones just don't want to work with Netgear extenders.
Thanks.
