The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most widespread 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.
The WiFi Extender from TP-LINK broadcasts signal on two frequencies. It offers higher speeds compared to single-band extenders and allows connection of more devices.
The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most widespread 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 it to have fewer interferences from other networks. The repeater can offer up to 2200Mbps in total to the devices connected to it.
In practice, the actual speed shared among devices is closer to 400Mbps. Indicatively, a high-resolution 4K movie requires approximately 25Mbps. The speed that each connected device will have depends on the distance, obstacles, how many other devices are connected, how many other networks are 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 for now. There is now also the next generation Wi-Fi 6 that offers the ability to connect many more devices to serve the ever-increasing smart devices in a home.
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 a common occurrence, and in repeaters that support correspondingly high WLAN speeds.
