Speed questions.
Got my ex6100 working yesterday. Logged into the web page to look at the settings and I noticed something odd.
Connection Status to Existing Network (2.4GHz) Name (SSID) TP_2.4 Link ...
Thanks for the reply. I guess I just assumed the 2.4Ghz is not going to be as fast as the 5Ghz even with walls, obstructions, etc. I know (or think I've read) that 2.4 does have a greater distance.
Just seemed odd the 5GHz is 1/2 speed of the 2.4.
And I actually don't have issues in the area the extender is located. I had a netgear N900 acting as an AP and for some reason my tivo doesn't like it. Replaced it with a switch and all is well. So, since I had an amazon gift card I picked up the ex6100 to handle wireless. I'll repurpose the N900 sometime in the future...or get rid of it.
