Do I need to upgrade firmware or purchase newer range extender?
I have been happily using this extender with a Linksys E2500 for seven years, but since my ISP now allows download speeds of 200 mbps, I have switched to a Linksys AC1750 router.
With the extender, I am downloading at 25 mbps at a spot right next to the extender, which the app indicated was in a "good" location. When I placed my notebook right next to the Linksys router, I was getting download speeds of 90 mbps.
As such, if I wish to obtain better download speeds using the extender, would I benefit from:
1. Upgrading the firmware
2. Purchasing a new extender
I am not sure if either of these two options will help, since this extender theoretically can handle 300 Mbps, and the distance between router and extender may be the culprit compromising my download speed.
Thanks so much for advice!
