The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most common and has a long range. The 5Ghz provides higher speed than the 2.4Ghz but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g. walls) that reduce its range. This difference, as well as its more limited use, helps to have fewer interferences from other networks. The repeater can provide up to 1500Mbps in total to the devices connected to it.
The TP-LINK WiFi Extender broadcasts signals on two frequencies. It provides higher speeds compared to single ones and can connect to multiple devices.

In practice, the actual speed shared among devices is closer to 250Mbps. For example, a high-resolution 4K movie requires about 25Mbps. The speed that each connected device will have depends on factors such as distance, obstacles, the number of other devices connected, the number of other networks in the same area, etc. It is Wi-Fi 6 generation, the most modern Wi-Fi standard that offers speeds up to 40% higher than Wi-Fi 5.
It optimizes communication with connected devices to consume less battery and perform better in environments with multiple Wi-Fi devices. Ideal for homes with many smart devices. Connection via ethernet cable provides a speed of 1000Mbps (also known as Gigabit), which is the maximum speed that ethernet can support.
Usually found in professional environments where transferring large files (e.g. high-definition videos) is a common occurrence, and in repeaters that support corresponding high WLAN speeds.
