Range Extender WiFi speed is 1/10th the speed of its Ethernet Port speed
Hi
I have positioned my RE550 WiFi extender at the "Perfect Signal" location as noted in the Location Assistant within the Tether app.
When I connect my computer directly to the RE550 Ethernet port, I get speeds of around 500Mbps which is absolutely fantastic, as this is my max broadband connection and therefore the maximum speed that I could hope to achieve.
However, if I disconnect the ethernet connection, and connect from the same RE550 (which is still in the same location) over its 5G WiFi connection to the same computer, I get transfers speeds of about 1/10th that of the ethernet connection. That is, about 50Mbps. The distance between the WiFi extender and the computer is less than a meter, and there is nothing inbetween.
I have moved the WiFi extender to a location right beside my router, and I experience the same discrepency.
Any suggestions what would cause the 90% drop in speed between the Ethernet port and the 5G WiFi?
Thanks
