2mb max speed download

Hey there, I ain't use to using something like this. Infact I like to use wireless but here we are with a pc what is wired. I use the ex2700 as a wifi range extender and hook the ethernet to my pc since it is impossible to hook my router from downstairs all the way up here. I get 50mbs wireless but 2mb max when using this method??? Maybe someone could help me out, plus I set it up on both 5g and 2g internets fyi.

    Somehow I doubt you used both 2.4ghz AND 5ghz as the EX2700 is a 2.4ghz single band device. 

    it can't pickup or use 5ghz at all. 

    Have you tried a different device to see if its a device specific issue?
