Wifi Extender speeds super slow
I have purchased the AC1200 EX6120 to boost the signal throughout my home. when I moved the extender upto my office my speeds were only 15MB (I have a 150MB connection), I then moved the extender next to my Router and I was still only getting 15MB connection. I understand there will be a recuction in connection speeds through the extender but surely a 90% loss in connection even when directly next to the router can't be corrent?

Are you testing over 2.4ghz or 5ghz?
2.4ghz is a much slower network and more sensitive to interference
