N300 EX2700 Wifi Extender Green Lights but No Internet
I have been using the N300 EX2700 Wifi Extender with a Linksys E1200 with no major issues for a couple of years, but now I'm having a problem I've never encoutnered and can't seem to find any support...
couple things could have happened.
Are you in an area with a lot of wifi interference? Aka a lot of signals? When your power rebooted everything, maybe the router switched to a different wifi channel or a neighbors switched to a channel thats causing interference.This could have caused enough interference so you aren't able to reach as far. 2.4ghz is sensitive to interference.
Try downloading a free wifi scanner for your phone or pc and see which channels have the least interference. Shoot for channels 1-6-11.
And then test. See move the extender around, speedtesting while you're doing so to evaluate placement and interference. Hvac, concrete, brick, and foil lined insulation do a great job of blocking 2.4ghz so moving a couple feet can make a big difference. This is why I recommend speedtesting with placing any extenders.
I would start with these steps and see how it works.
