@ sean,
Technically, any Range Extender would not even give us equal speeds as of main router network, they only extend the range not the speed. If you have an option to use the Almond hardwired then you could receive good speeds and use other 2 Ethernet ports. However, if you would like to use it as a Wireless Range Extender then wants to use the LAN ports, it would still work with the better signal or connection, but the speed would be low.
