The WiFi Extender from Mercusys transmits a signal on a single frequency, 2.4Ghz, which offers lower speed compared to those that transmit on 2 (dual) or 3 (tri-band) frequencies. The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most widespread, and since it has a long range, it is usually congested by neighboring Wi-Fi signals, further complicating device communication. For managing multiple devices, a dual-band device can handle it more effectively. The repeater can provide up to 300Mbps in total to the devices connected to it. In practice, the actual speed that such a repeater of this generation (Wi-Fi 4) can offer to a single device is closer to 50Mbps. Indicatively, a high-resolution 4K movie requires about 25Mbps. The speed 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 of Wi-Fi 4 generation, an older generation recommended for use with few devices and for applications that do not require high speeds.
