So much disappointment
For me, the statement that "it was so much better" is accurate. I went from a max of 1.6Mbps with my legacy, daily refill plan to 20Mbps (then 30Mbps) with Gen4, then about 47Mbps with Gen5. And though that doesn't necessarily translate into activities running at that speed at all times, nor is the speed that good all the times, it's still much better than what I had.

5.9MBps is 47.2Mbps, or nearly double Gen5 plan speed.
As for your WiFi, are you sure it's a signal issue? An extender/booster only helps with signal issues. If it is a signal issue, two things should be kept in mind. One, that the HT2000W's WiFi is basic, and two, that the makeup of your home also plays a part in how far from the base unit the signal stays adequate. And, if it is a signal issue, a more powerful, 3rd party router can often remedy the problem.
Thank you for the suggestion. I am glad it functions well for you. I suppose its all relative to our expectations and experiences based on our location.
