EXT3700 Acess Point speed issue
I am using mine as an access point. My wifi cable modem doesn't reach the basement well. I have a small home and I'm using this extender as an access point (not repeater). I ran a 50 ft cat6 cab...
Didnt realize that...so why would it say it supports 433? Its supposed to support 433 as a repeater? I get like 25 mbps in repeater mode
Repeater mode is even worse.
Reason why is extenders have to go router----extender and then extender-----device using the same chip. And it can't do both at once. so in repeater mode, its throughput is actually half of what its getting from the router.
And the numbers for wireless are always overblown.
I'd take a read of this to see what I mean.
