Cannot change WiFi speed with WN3000 Range Extende
Hi all,
I try to change the WiFi speed after having succesfully connected to the original WiFi network and extending it with the WN3000. But the dropdown list is blocked. When I connect to the original WiFi network directly the speed is up to 300 Mbit, that is why I thought I could also change in the extender.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Daniel
Hello danaldo
Then that is why it is not allowing the 300 mbs because your main router is outputting that and the extender will cut that in half for all devices connected to the extender but not if they are on the router network. Here is a good article explaining this.

Hello danaldo
Are you on the latest firmware if not what version are you using?
