5G Router - Slow speeds when I extend using a wired access point or wireless extender

JamieT — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 16:54:19 GMT

Hi,

I've just installed Three 5G Business Broadband - we enjoy speed of 150 Mbps, and a strong and reliable wireless connection.

However, I'm struggling to extend the network. I've tried using a TP Link TL-WR940N and a brand new TP Link TL-WA801N as a wired access point (connecting the 5G hub with a Cat5E ethernet cable) and a range extender. (So tested 4 discreet configurations). In all cases I only get between 10 Mbps - and 30 Mbps.

I still have my wired Plusnet broadband connection, if I swap out the Three feed with the Plusnet feed I get zero loss of speed. With Plusnet I get about 50 Mbps at the primary router, with no reduction at any of the access points.

Any ideas? I'm wondering about some kind of throttle applied to Three 5G to restrict access points, or a configuration problem.

Thank you!
