I use a Nighthawk X4 WiFi Range Extender; the only problem is that the speeds are worse when I did a comparasion with my Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi Cable Modem Router. I'm aware it is normal that the EXT ...
Hi Retired_Member,
Speed depends on distance, obstacles as well as interference devices including devices on the network and their utilization of speed. In AP mode, if you can try to minimize the distance between devices and AP, you could witness better speed compared to extender mode since distance might be more.
So the EXT network is slower compared to the normal WiFi network. Is it better to use EX7300 in access point mode rather than extender mode? Or there isn't a significant difference in speed performance?
