Connection Speed and Stability problems

2020-04-25 17:38:18

Model: RE200

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 1.1.8

Hi guys, need your help with this cause it's driving me crazy.
I have 3 RE200 to install in my house to better wireless reception in other rooms. I configured the 3 RE200 with no issue after upgrading to the last firmware -downloaded and installed today- but I get msignificantly reduced speed. I have 300Mbps and if I connect directly to the router AC1750 I get 110Mbps~160Mbps. If I connect through the RE200 in that room -still 8m away from the router- I get around 60Mbps~85Mbps.

Why is that? I get better connection without the extender than with. Makes no sense.
Connection setup it's really simple and I even use the correct DNS for my ISP. So don't have any idea why it has this reduced speed.

@XinsaX Due to the mechanism of extender, extender needs to receive data and then forward data to PC/phone. This is different from the direct communication between Router and PC/phone. So the speed is lower via extender and cut by half. So the speed is reasonable
