- Reviewed in Canada on May 8, 2021I bought this product just over a year ago and it has worked fine since then and continues to do good. I live in a home with 6 others, 7 people in total, and my router is placed in my basement, as my brother was the first person to require an ethernet connection. Eventually I got my own pc and needed internet as well so I bought this to extend my internet to the second floor of my house, where my pc was located. I am currently using the ethernet port on this wifi extender and I get speeds of about 40 down and 40 up, mind you I have gigabit internet but I am 2 stories up so no complaints from me, and about 3 ping for in speed test, 20 ping when playing Valorant and about 40-50 ping when playing Apex Legends; I live in Toronto (Illinois servers for Valorant) and (St. Louis servers for Apex), extremely good for just $40. However, if you're still reading, you need to switch to 2.4GHz only if you are far away from your router as 2.4 GHz bands travel better through walls and travel farther than 5 GHz, assuming you have these 2 . You can configure this in the free app by going to high-speed mode. I did need to reset my router a few times as the speeds would sometimes drop a lot giving nearly 40% dropped packets but I'm pretty sure that is because of my router since it would regain its original fast speed after without a reboot or power cycle. Also connecting many devices to this will slow down its speed quite a bit, which is a given as more clients take up more bandwidth, so if you want the least latency try going only 1-3 devices if possible. Overall its a good option for a budget way to extend internet into the reaches of your house assuming you don't have any ethernet wall jacks or powerline adaptors are not your style. However if you do need more bandwidth or a better ethernet port I suggest going for the RE450, RE550 or RE650 as they all have a gigabit ethernet port and about 1.5x to 2x apparent faster speeds than this RE305.
TL;DR fast for its price and use 2.4GHz if far away
