Hi,

I just bought RE650 it but I'm still confused if it will work better.
If you have any advice, I'm interested.

Thanks

Hi, WiFi 6 extender is also compatible with WiFi5 router, but the wireless speed will be limited to WiFi 5.

Ok I am reassured, I was worried about the opposite

 

At the RE700X location, if you connect a smartphone to the WiFi 5 router 2.4G and 5G, what are the speed you could get? 

When the RE700X is locate at the middle of my first floor (perfect location in app) my speed in 5ghz is about 20mbit/s.

When the RE700X is connected to ethernet cable with the box, the speed is about 300mbit/s like my box.

If you want, I can send screenshot with newer test.

 

Then please connect a laptop to the RE700X via Ethernet cable to test speed of the extender(disconnect other wireless clients from the extender), if the extender wired speed is similar as the phone speed getting from router WiFi, it means the extender speed is normal. Then you could test extender WiFi speed as well when you are next to the extender and please also check the wireless link speed between the extender and the wireless client device:

How to check the associated/link speed on a wireless client

Okay I will try ASAP

 

Please note that the wireless link speed is not real internet speed, and the extender WiFi needs to communicate with the router and client device at the same time, thus the actual internet speed will be reduced.

Okay, I'm agree with you. But the lack of speed is incredible while I'm connected to the fiber (300-500mbit/s). just a little further away from the box, it goes down fast to about 20mbit/s/, that's so bad.

 

By the way, what is the maximum wireless link speed your WiFi 5 router supports on 2.4G and 5G WiFi？

It's about 150mbit/s. That's a little weird because I can have 300mnit/s over wifi....

Hi, 

I can't connect to ethernet at the RE700X because i don't have an ethernet port at my laptop.

That's the result of test speed at the location of RE700X

sfr
    2.4ghz : 28.32mb/s
    5ghz    : 126.5mb/s
    
re700x
    2.4ghz    : 32.91mb/s
    5ghz    : 22.70mb/s (on my android the speed of the wireless under option is 433mbit/s

What did you think ?
