My old Router R6200v2 together with a Mesh Extender EX 6150v2

Question

Can my old router R6200v2, which is WiFi 5 and AC1200, be used together a mesh extender like EX 6150 v2?

How will it affect the speed of the wifi coming from the extender? Will it cut the speed of the R6200v2 in half?

plemans · Answer

yes it can be used with a mesh extender.&nbsp;
Both devices are an ac1200 with the same specs. so they should work well together.&nbsp;
the "cut speed in half". The R6200's speed won't be cut in half but single/dual band extenders have a 50% speed reduction based off the fact of how they work. they have to use the same chip that goes router====extender&nbsp; &nbsp;and then extender------devices. And can't do both at once.&nbsp;
