- i tried changing the wifi channel but that did not help
Is it setup in mesh mode?
are you using high band 5ghz or lower band (32-48 or 149-165) for the backhaul? (router---extender connection)
Does the same issue happen if connected directly to the router? The extender is reliant on the router so if the router is having the ping issues, so will the extender.
thanks for the response
no it is in extender mode
how do i check the backhaul? {router extender connection}
no, if i connect to my main router i don't experience any issues
