Change the WiFi speed
When the extender's 2.4 GHz WiFi backhaul is connected to the root access point (root
AP), the extender's 2.4 GHz fronthaul WiFi speed is the same as the root AP's 2.4 GHz
WiFi speed. The extender cannot change its 2.4 GHz WiFi speed.
This also applies to the extender's 5 GHz WiFi speed. When the extender's 5 GHz WiFi
backhaul is connected to the root AP, the extender's 5 GHz fronthaul WiFi speed is the
same as the root AP's 5 GHz WiFi speed. The extender cannot change its 5 GHz WiFi
speed.
The following table further explains whether if the extender's 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WiFi
speed is changeable based on which extender backhaul connection is used to connect
to the root AP.
