The WiFi Extender from D-Link broadcasts a signal on two frequencies. It offers higher speeds compared to single-band extenders and allows the connection of more devices. The 2.4Ghz frequency is the most widespread and, due to its long range, is usually congested by neighboring Wi-Fi signals, making device communication more difficult. The 5Ghz frequency provides higher speed than 2.4Ghz but is more sensitive to obstacles (e.g., walls) that reduce its range. This difference, along with its more limited use, helps it to have fewer interferences from other networks. The repeater can offer up to 1200Mbps in total to the devices connected to it. In practice, the actual speed shared among devices is closer to 200Mbps. For reference, a high-definition 4K movie requires about 25Mbps. The speed each connected device will have depends on the distance, obstacles, the number of other connected devices, the number of other networks in the same area, etc. It is of Wi-Fi 5 generation, the most widespread Wi-Fi standard, which can currently meet the needs of most users. There is now the next generation, Wi-Fi 6, which offers the ability to connect many more devices to accommodate the increasing number of smart devices in a home. Connection via ethernet cable offers a speed of 1000Mbps (also known as Gigabit), which is the maximum speed that ethernet can support. It is usually found in professional environments where the transfer of large files (e.g., high-definition videos) is common, and in repeaters that support similarly high WLAN speeds.
