A:Answer Yes and no. Your router speed is the maximum speed that you can connect to the internet. You get the most performance if you connect via ethernet at your router, or by wifi in the same room as your router. The further you go from your router, the slower your internet speed.
This extender is speed AC1200. For the best performance, match the extender's speed to your router's speed. The extender can't make your router faster, but it could operate at a slower speed than your router and you won't see as much performance improvement. Think of this as a repeater that boost the signal strength. Your device will run faster, like it would if you moved closer to your router.
This acts as a bridge to extend your wifi's range (and therefore speed). You plug this into an outlet between where you have your router and where you need better speed. This extender talks to your router and your devices. You'll get a stronger signal and faster speeds on your devices. You may need to try a few different outlets to see what works best for you.
This extender supports 1 each 2.4Gz and 5Gz SSID. If you connect to MyWifi at your router, you can create MyWifi_Ext. You'll need to manually change your wifi source as you move around your house. If that's a problem, consider a Mesh Router combo. Connect your device to MyWifi (your router) and run speedtest.net. Then connect to MyWifi_EXT and run it again. That will show you performance difference.
