Sorry for my delayed reply I have been working away from home this past month.
Ok so summary - the extender still does not provide any consistent internet and the speed test results are awful.

Is the EX6120 a new device? You can always go through support.
I'd also recommend trying it at someone else's home as well (if you have that option).
Reason I say that is I'm not trusting of ISP supplied gateways. They tend to be the cheapest device possible.
