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 TP-LINK WiFi Extender broadcasts signals on two frequencies. It provides higher speeds compared to single ones and can connect to multiple devices. The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most common and has a large 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 1200Mbps in total to the devices connected to it. In practice, the actual speed shared to the devices is closer to 200Mbps.
Indicatively, a high-resolution 4K movie requires about 25Mbps. The speed that each connected device will have depends on the distance, obstacles, how many other devices are connected, how many other networks exist in the same area, etc.
It is Wi-Fi 5 generation, the most widespread Wi-Fi standard, which can meet the needs of most users at the moment.
There is now also the next generation Wi-Fi 6 that offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the increasingly growing smart devices in a home.
