EX7300 - Data lag

Hi guys

 

I needed to extend my standard ISP modem/router wifi range so I bought the EX7300 for this specific use.

I plugged in the EX7300 and set it up - got the internet connection straight away - all good from that perspective.

 

I am using a Frizbox 7390 (v06.53) as modem/router and set up a new SSID for the wifi extender as per their recommandation.

So I have the "A" wifi network provided by my Fritzbox and a "B" wifi network provided by the EX7300 (FastLane mode - 5Ghz in/2.4Ghz out).

 

My issue is that I cannot upload any file with my "B" wifi network to neither the local network nor any internet cloud service (except Dropbox?!).

 

I understand this is caused by a misconfiguration within my local network but I can't figured out what to do.
Can someone help me pls?!

 

Thanks a lot!

    Hello Just_y

     

    Could be a port forwarding issue have you checked if any of those file services need a port to be open?

      Thanks DarrenM for your message.


      Can be a port forwarding issue indeed but this also happen in my local network.

      As far as I understand port forwarding, it works from an internet service to a device in a local network, right?
      (against devices in a local network)

       

      Here is my config again:


      Fritzbox 7390 (ISP modem/router)            EX7300/AC2200

      - wifi network 1                                           - wifi network 2

      - smart TV

      - TV box                              

      - PS4

      - NAS 1

      - NAS 2

       

      I can't even upload any file on my NASs.

      I am pretty sure it's not a compatibility issue and I know I am doing smtg wrong but can't get where.


      Thanks for your help,
