The WiFi Extender from TP-LINK broadcasts a signal on two frequencies. It offers higher speeds compared to single-frequency extenders and allows connection of more devices. The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most widespread and, due to its long range, is usually congested by neighboring Wi-Fi signals, further complicating device communication. The 5Ghz frequency provides higher speed than the 2.4Ghz but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g., walls) that reduce its range. This difference, along with its more limited use, helps it experience fewer interferences from other networks. The repeater can offer up to 1750Mbps in total to the devices connected to it. In practice, the actual speed shared among the devices is closer to 300Mbps. For reference, a high-resolution 4K movie requires about 25Mbps. The speed each connected device will have depends on the distance, obstacles, the number of other connected devices, the number of other networks in the same area, etc. It is of Wi-Fi 6 generation, the most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% higher than Wi-Fi 5. It coordinates communication with connected devices to consume less battery and works better in environments with many Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. The connection via ethernet cable offers a speed of 1000Mbps (also known as Gigabit), which is the maximum speed that ethernet can support. It is usually found in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g., high-definition videos) is common, and in repeaters that support similarly high WLAN speeds.
