WN3000RPv2 Wireless Mode question.
Hi
Just bought and setup a Wireless extender as per in subject and I have noticed that no matter I try to change wireless speed to 300Mbps, this automatically drops to 145Mbps no matter I tried to change the speed.
Is this parameter subject to conditions setup in the extender or the router I am bridgning to? My router (Billion 8800NL) has a full 300Mbps Wireless capable AP.
Just trying to understand what is limiting the speed of the AP on this bridge.
Thanks for your help and opinions.

- I am having the same issue. Just got a WN3000RPv2, updated firmware and set it up.
Will only connect at 145 no matter how many times I select 300.
Device seems to work well other than this. This of course doesn't stop it from working just annoys me and I am not sure if it is reducing my overall speed.
I have a netgear R6300 router that it is extending from so I know it connects at those speeds. Were you able to find a solution? I'm having the same issue with an EX2700 extender. I looked everywhere, checked all my settings on router and extender, and I can't find any reason why I would be limitted to the 145Mbps setting.
Please try enabling FastLane to improve your WiFi performance.

When using WiFi extender, expect that the performance will be halved. However this may not be the case when using the extender as a wired access point.
