Each base unit will start at your theoretical max speeds. But satalites will be at the mercy of how far they are to the base. If your satalite is at 200mbs,id assume your s22 ultra connected to the base at that same spot would be 200mbs as well, no? Biggest pro of these are seemless extension of signal and strength. They can't "boost" speeds, as like wifi 5, signal drop drops pretty quick. But if your device is wifi6, it'll likely be capped at the same speeds as a satalite. But, once you go even farther from base/satalite, you won't get your 200mbs wifi 6 speeds, but you'll end up with longer range at slower speeds. VS before the mesh, you'd have nothing.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.What most providers don't tell you is the speed you purchase (1gbps in your case) is only guaranteed for hardwired download speed. Meaning you have to plug directly into the modem to get that. Most providers guarantee 120mbps for wifi and no more. So 200 is within the range. Several things can cause wifi interference. LED lights, concrete, metal, etc.
