  • I added the xrs extender. as one SSID for each band, 2.4g and 5g.

     

    complete fail. everything connected to the network if it got throughput at all was under 1 MB a second. My internet connection is AT&T Fiber 1GB.

     

    My sad solution was to disable the one name and use the X4S as a separate name. when i do that, most of my devices connect properly.

     

    And while i prefer the one name solution, i really just need a stronger signal in the back. However this is killing my whole house automation.

     

    Man am I glad i dropped almost $350 combined on these two devices.
