WIFI Range Extender WN3000 | Not Receiving 50 MBPS Extender speed

Hi,

I am trying to connect my netgear extender with my wifi router but not able to get 50 mbps even if router n extender in nearby (<1 meter).

 

Can you please tell me what is the maximum speed extender give us ? Is there any setting i need to do to get proper speed,

FYI - I was getting proper speed 20 mbps when i was having 20 mbps connection speed, but now I have upgrade my plan to 50mbps but unable to get 50 mbps through extender. ( i am still getting 20mbps speed).

    Hello pradeep07

     

    You are always going to lose speed with a extender if you are connecting the extender via wireless to the router. You could try to change your wireless channels to improve the speed.
