Its a misunderstanding of how extenders work.
They take at minimum (single/dual band extenders) a 50% speed reduction. this happens because they have to go router----->extender and then extender------>devices and they can't do both at once. So their speed is half of what they get.
So if you're putting in 220mbps, 100mbps is about what you can expect out (because its probably not getting the full 220 mbps your router puts out because of interference/distance)
Also, 2.4ghz won't hit 300mbps. Thats link speed and not throughput. You're doing good to hit 50mbps over 2.4ghz on an extender.
