Dropped speed on EX2700
I'm setting up my new EX2700 and I see that the speed available on it vs directly on the wifi is 10Mbps vs 33 Mbps. Both the router and the extender are right next to me. How is it possible that just going through the extender drops the signal strength this much?
Btw, all the lights on the extender are solid green.
Any guidance?
Thanks in advance
Sapan

Hello sapan101
When using a extender via wireless you are going to lose speed also wifi interference will cause some speed loss as well you can try to adjust the wireless channel to improve the speed. You may want to check out this article
