EX6200 wifi extender creates bad cell service
I have had the 6200 extender for awhile and it has been great until recently. when on my cell phone-iPhone 5s or my husband on his Samsung our calls sound like we are under water. I disconnect the extender and we are back in service fine. We have tried using different channels and shutting wifi off on the cell phone and nothing fixes it except unplugging the extender.... any suggestions to fix this??
