What Firmware version is loaded on the EX?
What is the Mfr and model# of the main host router the NG extender is connected too?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and extender(s)? 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.
What channels are you using on the main host router?
Some articles for review:
https://kb.netgear.com/24662/What-is-FastLane-Technology-and-how-do-I-configure-it
Firmware: V1.0.0.76_1.0.49
Router: Zyxel C3000Z
Ft^2: 2,800 (3 floors, 900-ish per floor)
Distance: I am guessing around 30 feet, across 2 floors. Drywall and minimal pipe/wiring.
Signal strength on extender is 130Mbps
Router is currently on channel 36 for 5Ghz. 2.4 is disabled on the extender.
I'm up to about 26Mbps today for some reason. Still only about 2/3 direct connection rate.
Ok so I beleive the EX supports a connection rate at 450Mb, thats only between itself and the main host router. If your only seeing 130Mb at the EX, then you might move the EX closer to the Main host router. 130Mbps is a connection rate, not a signal strength.
Your main host router wifi supports the following:
"Seamless Mobility C3000Z offers dual-band WiFi rated at AC2200 and delivers speed of up to 1.7 Gbps* over 5Ghz and 450 Mbps* over 2.4Ghz."
These are connection rates only between itself and devices.
