Hi,

 

Yes, that is what is meant by the term "Fast Ethernet Port" that is printed on the blueish box the RE315 came in. The "Fast Ethernet" standard defines a speed of 100 Mbit/s.

TP-Link's lower end range extenders like the RE315 only have "Fast Ethernet" ports (100 Mbps). The "1200" mentioned for the RE315 is solely indicating its Wi-Fi capabilities.

 

Range extenders starting from the "RE450" and higher number models support 1000 Mbps Ethernet link speed. (aka "Gigabit Ethernet")
