Netgear EX6150 AC1200 Device Connection Problems

For your fugure extender needs, Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the WiFi Extender products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with WiFi Extender products and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this router forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Hi,

I've used my Netgear EX6150 for a number of years as an Access Point wired directly to my router. My router is a Sagemcom Plusnet Hub One. All worked fine up until I had to move the router and 6150. Due to cabling issues with my broadband service provider I had to switch round the locations of the router and 6150 - and set the 6150 as an extender rather than an access point. I get a strong connectivity signal between the router and 6150 where I have connected my desktop pc by cable to the ethernet port. The broadband speed test from this connection is almost as fast as when I connect it directly to an ethernet port on the router itself. However the wifi connectivity on the 6150 is functioning poorly. If I run a broadband speed test from my laptop it's returning about 1/3 of the wired speed of my desktop test. As well as that my wireless printers are not connecting properly. I have an Epson XP-205 and a Canon IP7250. After a number of tries I managed to get the Epson to connect to the 6150 using WPS. and it shows up correctly on the connected devices page on the 6150. However on my desktop and laptop the printer continued to show offline. I deleted the printer and now when I scan for available printers it's not there. For my Canon when I go through the WPS process it is seen by the 6150 as the mac address is listed but isn't assigned an IP address or device name. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
