EX6100 slow speeds

My extension is running at very slow speeds. Ookla shows my base wireless at 15Mbps and my 2.4Ghz extension measures between .8 and 2.2Mbps even when both are in the same room. during setup it was the only network in the area using channel 1...

What is going on? Is 10% of throughput a normal performance in extender mode? there is good signal between router and extender.

  • I'm having the same issue. Compared to the origin point, the download speeds are extremely slow through the extender, the upload speeds are fine.

    After a power down the download speed improves for a few minutes and then degrade again.

    Short of a full reset of the device are there any other options?
