| Extenders in general will cut your Wifi speed by 1/2. Why? Because the extender needs to talk to the router, and vice versa. That takes signal and speed out of the network communications between the two. Think of it this way, you look up NewAgTalk.com on your computer. Your computer tells the extender to go seek NAT. Before it can do that, the extender has to check first that the router isn't busy with something else, then it will send your request onto the router, and out to the internet. The reverse is true when the NAT page is being served up - the router has to ask "Who Has...(insert your laptop's IP address)" and the extender your laptop is connected with says, "I've got it over here..." then the router sends your NAT page to you.
Enter the MESH systems which use a secondary signal to do that communications between the extenders and the router...
