Does it cut the internet speed in half? null

No, the NETGEAR EX7300 AC2200 EXTENDER does not cut your Internet Speed in half. I am in the IT business and we use these quite often in Residences where there is no cabling to the back half of the house and the Wi-Fi signal needs to be boosted/repeated/extended from the main router. Best part about it for us is that it has an Ethernet port on the bottom of it so you can connect a network switch to it and connect several wired devices to it in order to gain Internet access or networking ability to those devices. You may not achieve the full speed you would get from the main router but we only see a loss of about 10% or so in most cases.

Not at all, device is very snappy and fast!

I hardwired/connected my Nighthawk to my shop just outside of my garage. It definitely cut my internet speeds considerably. In fact, I just had AT&T Techs out converting me to Fiber Internet from traditional cable. Even with the Fiber properly connected the nighthawk did indeed cut my internet speeds approximately in half. I removed the Nighthawk from my set up and my internet speeds approximately doubled. There is a trade-off in the real world for many.
