Range Extender RE450 speeds are much slower than my router Wifi

Hi, my room is at the back of my house.
When connecting to the range extender RE450, i realise the internet speeds are alot slower than using my normal router wifi.
Understand that Range extenders have a half-duplex backhaul and can only communicate in 1 direction at a time the speed can be up to 50% less than what you get on normal router.
However, these are my wifi speeds:
- connected to home router, nearest to main router: 127 mpbs
- connected to home router, far from main router: 12 mpbs
- connected to range extender RE450, far from main router: 8 mpbs
In this case, the wifi from range extender was nowhere near the half of my main router speed.
Is there something that I should know about the range extender not being able to reach dead zones?
The range extender has been placed halfway between the router and my dead area.
