Do you require a WiFi extender that also includes a LAN port with speeds above 100mbps?
Hello i have 1gbps internet and becouse my modem is a little too far away I have wifi extender and wifi extender with cable connected to my PC but the speed only goes up to 100mbps..
Is there any wifi extender that has a LAN port that's more than 100mpbs ?
Yes I can use a wifi usb but on wifi usb the ping on games is worse.
Thanks in advance
There are numerous possibilities. In certain situations, you might be able to utilize an older router that can function as a repeater. A few points to consider.
Initially, linking your PC to a Wi-Fi extender through Ethernet doesn’t convert it into a standard Ethernet connection—it remains Wi-Fi. What you’re actually doing is establishing a connection with the Wi-Fi radio device using an Ethernet cable instead of a USB one. The issue with USB devices could stem from trying to use a small device with a limited antenna. Manufacturers now produce USB devices with larger antennas.
Additionally, regardless of your efforts, you’ll likely encounter random ping spikes during any gameplay on Wi-Fi. This is due to external interference from outside your home. Even if you try to block your neighbors, someone passing by with a nearby Wi-Fi hotspot on the same channels can still disrupt your connection.
Lastly, increasing bandwidth won’t resolve this problem; even with a 1Gbps connection, the game will only consume around 1Mbps. The sporadic ping spikes are more about interference than speed limitations. More bandwidth merely speeds up downloads after installation.
I possess a plugin extender capable of handling up to 750 Mbps. I'm fortunate to surpass 50 Mbps where required. Could you identify the model of your extender? Is 100 the maximum performance achievable with its positioning?
It is easy to locate them. You look for extender and gigabit ethernet options on Amazon.
One of several examples is shown here: https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Extender-...B08TLT65WM
If you are referring to a USB adapter, they usually appear in this form physically. This is just an illustration and not a recommendation.

However, the 100mbps speed limit does not explain the ping spikes during games.
I own some Temu items, but my friend uses Xioami and also has a 100mbps limit on the Extender LAN port. When I connect via USB Wi-Fi, it improves, but the Extender ping remains around 10 and the Wi-Fi speed is about 25-30 Mbps. On some games like CS, the packet loss is very high on USB Wi-Fi, which is why I prefer an extender with speeds over 100 Mbps, such as 500 Mbps. Thanks in advance. And yes, I also stream on Twitch.
Ping times aren't related to speed.
In Los Angeles with a New York server, you'll consistently receive 80-90ms results, regardless of whether you have 100Mbps or Gigabit ports on wired Ethernet.
If you really want low latency, use wired ethernet. Cat5e or cat6a works well for gigabit speeds up to 100 meters. Cat7 isn’t better for ping times—it’s just a special standard that doesn’t improve performance and can be fake. Avoid Wi-Fi if you need fast response times.
