Has anyone come across a situation where the wifi extender (EX3700) caused spontaneous activation of a kitchen exhaust fan with a wireless remote?

    Try changing the wireless channel your primary router uses for 2.4ghz.

      Thanks. Some of the home ATT Gateway network devices listed use 2.4 GHz and some use 5 GHz. It's not clear what frequency the Netgear wifi extender uses as the device isn't clearly identified by name in the list.

        It uses the same 2.4ghz channel that the router uses. So try changing the channel in your primary router.
