Performance and Technology
- High-Speed Mode: The range extender supports high-speed mode, which uses one dedicated Wi-Fi band as a backhaul connection to the router and the other as a dedicated access point for your devices. This setup maximizes performance, making it ideal for tasks that require high bandwidth, such as HD streaming and online gaming.

Wired Connectivity
