Speeds on extender are always dicey, do expect drops in speeds as shown by your iPad. IMO, having a simple secondary router would help you if speeds are a concern.
In this case, extender is indeed working as a router (AP Mode). Since extender is using a wired backhaul, performance should match a router of similar configuration.
So about 1 week in and getting a wired connection done has been probably 2021's best decision of mine lol. I knew it would help but the reduction in my frustration while working from home over a wifi connection has been reduced post the LAN setup.
All 5 ports on the switch are now in use, and I find there to be no need for more ports. Buffering/lags on TV, PS5, YT, etc have reduced.
