EX2700 Extremely slow after firmware update and factory reset
Today I updated my wifi extender to the latest firmware. I did the factory reset as recommended. Now I'm getting extremely slow speeds with it. Earlier today I was getting download speeds around 3.5 ...
Usually that means one of their servers has gone down. Can you try the test again?
Okay, I finally got the speed test. With it plugged into the extender via ethernet the download is about 1.5 Mbps. Better than 0.5, but still completely dissatisfactory.
Also, I just tried moving the extender to an outlet that was much closer to the router, and it got the same dismal speed of 0.5 Mbps. I'm beginning to think I just got a dud, or the thing is in the process of dying.
