No replies? I have the same issue: a WN3000RP extender that works fine with older laptop, two iPads, Macbook and more. But my new Dell XPS15 running Win 8.1 only gets a limited connection (however it gets a full connection quickly to the router - but only 1 bar in my home office, so I want a better connection, hence the extender). The old laptop was a Dell E5520 running Win 7 and that still connects fine from the same desk getting 5 bars from the extender.
I have updated the firmware on the extender. I have tried all security modes including no security. I have turned off McAfee anti-virus. Netgear support wanted $139 for support for a $60 item (two years old now) but did offer the suggestion about changing security mode.
Any other suggestions - please ...
