netgear nighthawk x4 EX7300, leading to network performance issues

Question

hello to all&nbsp;I have installed the nightwawk EX7300 wifi extender. the Wifi extension works fine but the original wifi signal is not working properly- the signal is identified- I can log into it with a PC or my mobile phone- I can go to google homepage, but all other websites don't work. Other&nbsp;devices cannot log into it.&nbsp;Any clue?&nbsp;Thank you for your help.&nbsp;John&nbsp;

Hello JohnnyFR

&nbsp;

I would factory reset the extender try to do setup again. Make sure your router is using WPA2 security and also make sure your are using the latest firmware.

Did you ever resolve this? &nbsp;I have the same issue... Extender works great. &nbsp;I lost the orginal access point and the ethernet connections in the original router don't work now. &nbsp;Frustrating.

Hello uconnbill

&nbsp;

Are you saying the ethernet does not work on your main router with the extender connected to it?

Yes, I connect the 7300 extender via WiFi (20 feet away) to my 6200 Router. &nbsp; I can access the extender...5G_5GEXT wifi, but not the original 5G WIFI access point on the router. &nbsp; Also, the physical internet connections on the router stop working. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;When I unplug the extender and restart the router, router works fine again.&nbsp;
