AX1600 Wifi Extender, trouble accessing certain websites

Question

I installed this 40 feet from my desktop and it was working fine. A bit slow. All of my usual web browsing was fine on wi-fi. I had no issues with my android phone.

I decided to install it right next to my desktop and use a networking cable from the extender to the desktop. At first, everything seemed fine and it was blazing fast.

Then I started to notice I could not access certain web pages. I use Firefox as my primary browser.

I can no longer access latimes.com on Firefox but it works fine on Edge.

Most of the time I cannot access Facebook on any browser - firefox, edge, opera, but sometimes duckduckgo browser will be fine.

I appreciate any help with this.

Thanks

Model # of this extender? EX or EAX?&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Be sure to clear out any browser caches before entering web pages.&nbsp;
If MS edge was working for the one site and doesn't for Firefox, possible FF browser issue there.&nbsp;
Be sure all browser you use are updated.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Is host wifi router using auto or manual channels? Try manual channels 1 and 40 or 11 and 48.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Distance between host wifi router and this extender? 30 feet is a good starting distance.
