Hi Tomsys,
Which router is connected to the WN2000RPTv2?
Are both the router and extender updated to latest firmware?

How is the connection of the extender when placed in the same room as your router?
You can also try switching your WiFi channel if there are interfering networks:

Please try setting up the WN2000RPTv2 via WPS (or web browser setup if WPS was previously used)
Press and hold the Restore Factory Settings button on the rear panel for 7 seconds. The extender resets, and returns to its factory settings.
