Hi,

 

when choosing a range extender for my home network I didn't really do much research. Having always had good experiences with tplink I just blindly chose the re700x.

what a mistake that's turned out to be. The re slows my network down my a factor of 20!!

my fiber speed varies between 400 and 700 mbs but the RE700 never gets better than 25 even when placed adjacent to router.

very bad show tplink. I'll be taking my business elsewhere in future.

Hi @Qwis,

Please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot potential speed issues and improve the speed of your Range Extender.
    1. First of all, we recommend using http://www.speedtest.net to test the speed accurately. Speedtest APP/CLI tools (https://www.speedtest.net/apps/) would be better.
    2. Before testing speed, make the extender's 2.4ghz and 5ghz SSID different from the router's to ensure your Laptop/Phone is connected to the extender's 5GHz Wi-Fi. 
    3. If the signal light on the extender is red, move it closer to the host Router to receive a better wireless signal. 
    4. Adjust the location and antennas on the extender for optimal performance. Check this link for detailed guidance: How to place your wireless Range Extender for optimal reception and performance
    5. Connect to the Wi-Fi network of the host Router, and run a speedtest for comparison.
    6. If the wireless speed is expected, but the Ethernet speed is less than 100m/s, please refer to the “Specifications” of your extender to check whether it has a 1 x 10/100Mbps Ethernet Port.
Note: Range Extenders extend WiFi coverage rather than boosting speed. Affected by wireless interferences, extender size, and antenna direction, devices connected via an extender typically experience ‌about 50% slower speeds‌ than a direct router as data travels through two wireless hops: Device ⇄ Extender ⇄ Router. 
If you think the speed is still not expected, please send here the result of the above troubleshooting steps.
