Highlights
- Key Specs
- Wi-Fi Speed: 0.75 gigabits per second (The maximum rate at which data is transferred between a network device and wireless router.)
- Wireless Standard: AC, N (The wireless networking protocol used by the device. Each iteration of the protocol is based on the 802.11 standard developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standards Association. Denoted by letters following 802.11 (802.11a, 802.11ac, etc.), each version, published in alphabetical order, encompasses all previous versions.)
- Wi-Fi Range: 2000 square feet (The device will provide a Wi-Fi connection to this approximate area.)
- Maximum Throughput: 0.09 gigabytes per second (The maximum rate of data that is successfully delivered over a communication channel.)
- Form Factor: Plug-in (The size, arrangement, and physical configuration of the product.)
- Band Technology: Dual (Refers to the number of frequency bands used to wirelessly transmit an internet signal. For example, dual-band devices may use one 2.4 and one 5 GHz band, while tri-band devices may use one 2.4 and two 5 GHz bands. Multiple bands also provide more flexibility for designating connected devices to specific band use.)
- Frequency Band: 2.4 GHz, 5.0 GHz (Bands may be grouped into categories such as low- and high-band VHF (Very High Frequency), low- and high-band UHF (Ultra High Frequency), or certain frequency channels (measured in MHz or GHz). Generally, higher frequencies transmit information faster but have shorter range than lower frequencies.)
- Number of Antennas: 2
- Number of LAN Ports: 1 (Number of devices able to be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN). LAN ports allow wired connections to other networking devices (wireless access points, range extenders, etc.) in order to share the internet connection received through a WAN port.)
- Wireless Networking Standard: Wi-Fi 5 (The wireless networking standard used by the device. Each iteration of the standard developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance corresponds to an existing IEEE 802.11 protocol; for example, standard 802.11ac (or AC) is termed Wi-Fi 5. Refers specifically to the standard the device is designed to use, but ultimately determines product interoperability and backward compatibility including previous versions.)

A: This extender supports speeds up to 750 Mbps.
Q: What kind of security features does the extender offer?
A: It uses 128-/64-bit WEP encryption and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption to protect your data.
Q: Can I use the extender to create a new Wi-Fi hotspot?
A: Yes, you can switch the extender to access point mode to create a new Wi-Fi hotspot.
Q: How many antennas does the extender have?
A: The extender is equipped with 2 antennas to enhance range and signal reliability.
Q: Does this extender have parental controls or scheduling features?
A: Yes, you can set schedules for when the extender turns on and off using the power schedules feature.
Q: Do I HAVE to use the ethernet cable? Or does it work wirelessly?
A: No, the ethernet port is just in case you have a device that only works wired. Wireless is the normal mode of operation.
A: I haven't specifically attempted to only leave 5Ghz on by itself but the option to cut off the 2.4Ghz band is available while leaving the 5Ghz on. I have used this device to grab the WIFI and plug directly into a device that was Ethernet only and it worked like a charm is the best that I can confirm.
