Looses connection
Hi, I have the EX6200 working in FastLane mode where it connects via 5Ghz to my router (AirPort Extreme last generation) and then using wires I connect some other stuff to it. Well, all this works...
So I've been connected for over a week and so far the connection has not had issues. I factory reset after the firmware upgrade and reconnected using Fastlane again.
I do seem to have a performance problem now.
When I copy a file from my server to my laptop which is connected through the EX6200, Windows is telling me the transfer rate is about 4.5 MB/s. This is crazy slow. Thie is plugged in using Ethernet to a port on the EX6200 and WiFi is turned off.
I'm back configured using FastLane and my signal strength from the EX6200 is four bars -58 dBm with a link speed of only 156 Mbps on the 5GHz band.
I have another ultrabook which is connected using only Wireless N to my R7000 using 2.4GHz and when I transfer files, Windows is reporting a transfer rate of around 5.2GHz.
When I get a chance I'm going factory reset both the router (R7000) and the Extender (EX6200) and see if I can resolve anything, but I'm really getting fed up with Netgear hardware and the lack of support provided.
