WN3000RPv3 not seeing 5 GHz band on BGW320-500 gateway
My WN3000RPv3 extender does not seem to see the 5 GHz band on the AT&T Humax BGW320-500 gateway. I have 8 other devices that do connect on 5 GHz. If I connect my iPad using the gateway, I get 398/35...

The WN3000RPv3 isn't a dual band device. Its single band only.
About all the speed you're doing to get from a single band extender is 20mbps because of how extenders work.

Many thanks. I was led to believe it was dual band.

Not sure who gave you that info. If you're looking at extenders for the most performance, I'd take a look at the tribands.
I'm a fan of them as they use a dedicated backhaul between router/extender and so have higher throughput and lower latencies.
