I am having the same problem. I am staying in a hotel for 6 weeks and my signal was weak so I bought this extender. And while the signal strength was greatly improved. My internet is constantly dropping. I can troubleshoot the problem with windows troubleshooter but it only solves the problem for a couple minutes. I have green lights across the board on the extender. Would love some help with this.

    Hi Kaiclubbe,

     

    Can you please describe your network setup?

    Which router are you using with the EX2700?
    Are both the EX2700 and router updated to latest firmware?

      I have a WN3000RP with firmware v.1.02.64_1.1.86.  It continually drops the signal, despite showing that the source router is within sufficient range.  It's the same problem many others report having.  It comes back on if I reset it.  But that's an unacceptale solution.
