GS208v2 and AC750 wifi range extender (EX3700) issues
OK - my set up has been working for years without any issues and over the last 6 months connection has started dropping out and being very unreliable. Running a GS208v2 switch through the wired cat 5...
so the easy way to test it?
Move the switch and the extender to where the router is. Use 2x known good cables (one to the switch, other to the extender) to connect them. See if it works/stays stable. This prevents issues of wiring within the walls/ends from being the issue.
If it doesn't, then try connecting the extender directly to the router and seeing if the extender stays stable. If it does, its the switch. If it doesn't, its the extender.
the goal is to figure out which one is the issue
Great! Thanks for that. Onto it.
