Range Extender halves my Wi-Fi speed
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
So I had recently installed a 5GHz Router that gives aprox 90 megabit per second when connected to a laptop (as long as it is in the same room). My computer (with a 5ghz wireless adapter, TL-WDN3800) is pretty far from the router, and by directly connecting it to the 5ghz Wi-Fi source I usually get around 50-55 Mb/s (tho sometimes it gets slower).
So I decided to use a 5GHz Range Extender to improve the speed, RE200. Of course, as some of you might have guessed, with the Range Extender my speed is usually lower and never higher than the source speed (aprox 35 Mb/s). How do I exactly solve this?
My Router is set to the Channel 6 for the 2.5 Ghz signal, while the 5Ghz one is automatically set to Channel 36, the same as the Range Extender. In my Router config option I have set the Channel Width at 20 Mhz, as I had heard it helps with the speed, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
