N600 - wifi cable Modem Router Model C3700 - having Double NAT type error.
Hello to all! So I recently bought a SETEK wifi Range Extender to help my wifi signal reach my other two rooms. It isn't a huge apartment at all its just that the homes are older and walls...
You don't want the C3700 in bridge mode. In bridge mode, it disables the router portion of the C3700. And you need that to connect the extender to.
A couple things you can try, when setting up the extender, don't use the wps method. use the installation assistant on the extender.
Also, make sure to game on the 5ghz. In apartments, they tend to suffer from interference with other wireless networks. 5ghz has more channels (so less interference), is much faster, and tends to work better because of its limited broadcast distance.
What setek did you buy? (model)
Another thing to keep in mind with extenders is that they drop throughput (speeds) 50%. reason why is they have to send and recieve with the same wireless chip and they can't do both at once.
You might find better luck/speeds by centrally locating the router versus adding an extender.
