EX7000 question

Can I use this EX7000 Range Extender in Fast Lane Technology mode for the following use. WIFI source  is a LG V10 (android phone) running as a hotspot. I can only broadcast either in 2.4ghz or 5 ghz but not both.

 

In Fast Lane, I would like to connect the EX7000 to the LG V10 hotspot broadcasting in 5GHZ and EX7000 rebroadcasts the WIFI connection in 2.4 ghz.

 

Is this setup possible with the EX7000 Wifi Extender?

Model: EX7000|AC1900 WiFi Range Extender

When you enable FastLane Technology, two options are available:

  • Use the 2.4 GHz band to connect the extender to the WiFi devices and use the 5 GHz band to connect the extender to the WiFi router. Use this mode if your WiFi router supports the 5 GHz band but the devices that you want to use for gaming and streaming support the 2.4 GHz band.
  • Use the 5 GHz band to connect the extender to the WiFi devices and use the 2.4 GHz band to connect the extender to the WiFi router. Use this mode if the devices that you want to use for gaming and streaming support the 5 GHz band but your WiFi router supports the 2.4 GHz band.
