I am very disappointed of this product. I have tested everything. My 5Ghz is not working because the extender is giving the channels between 100 and 140. My devices can't support that. I have tes...

Hello
Sorry but I don't understand what you really mean.
What should I do?---There isn't much you can do. only 1 of the 2 5ghz radio's broadcast on the lower frequencies. You're using that for the wireless backhaul.
The settings on my router for high frequency is disabled. Because of the region you're in.
I use only 36-64 MHz channels on my router--again, because of the region you're in.
The problem is that your extender does convert the 36 to 100-140---It isn't my extender. This is the community forum where members of the public try to help others out
What is the solution now?---there's isn't really a solution. I'd return it for a ex7300, ex6400, or ex6250. these would work better in your region.
I want the extender do have it 36-64.---It does have and is using this radio but its using it for the wireless backhaul.
so i paid 150 usd for nothing ?
Why do they even sell it in EU if its not working here.
What extender should i go for ?
- It is working but not how you'd like it to.
I recommend 3 that'd work better for you in the prior post i dont really know if you understand what i mean.
The only thing i want to do is tho extend my 5Ghz wifi signal.
I use channel 36 in my router, I just want to extend it using my EX7500.
Why cant i do that ?
- Because the only radio that broadcasts on those channels is being used for the wireless backhaul. Not sure how else to explain it.
- Ok but how does the 2.4 working.? It's also already used but the extender used same channel.
