Need for Speed -- AirPort Extreme as an Extender
I am seeking better speeds using my two routers, and I am not succeeding and seeking help.
I have two Aiport extremes; 5th generation and 6th generation. The 6ht gen, near my modem, gets 250Mbps download speed. The 5th gen, when used as an extender (to reach my office), clocks in at 18Mbps, no matter where I place it between my 6th gen router and my MBPro computer, located in my office. So, how do I get better speeds (ideally closer to 250Mbps as opposed to 18Mbps) using these routers? Do I buy another 6th gen router? Is there another Apple product to use as an extender? Do I move on from Apple Routers now that they are discontinued?
I am NOT Topgun, but I do have a need for speed.
