Netflix not streaming

Hello. I installed the extender. All works fine besides Netflix streaming. I can get I to Netflix but streaming does not work. It times out. I tried to only enable the 5 Band or also with or without the same name. The problem persist. What can I do? The streaming works on the base station WIFI. Thank you in advance. P.S. I am on the newest firmware.

  • Hi thesieger,

                            Try to modify wireless channel on your main router since that may impact signal which you get from your extender.

        Hi thesieger,

                                What is the speed which you get from main router at the place where extender is and what speed do you get on the device from which you are trying to access Netflix?

      Hello. The connection speed is 270 from the router to the extender and then up to 400 to the end device.

      Directly to the router with the end device 105, then connected to the extender 90 mb.

        Hi thesieger,

                                Speed via extender looks fine compared to router. So you shouldn't face issues while streaming Netflix. May I know from what device are you trying to stream Netflix? What is you try from a different device just to find out where issue could be?
