Unfortunately this means it all sits in the living room.
So I want to move it.
I have the V3 on modern & router mode, then cat 7 to a power line plug, then exits at another power line plug, then into the internet (yellow) port of the nighthawk.
So the nighthawk is just extending the signal, however if I speed check it (via app) it’s down to 60 meg.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Just want a good WiFi at the back of the house.
