WN3500RP High-pitched Noise After Shutdown

Good evening. So, I'm a very content user of the WN3500RP.

There's one problem, though. When I turn the extender off, by pushing the Power button on the unit itself, it starts making a high-pitched noise. It almost sounds like a seeping/faulty condenser/resistor. The noise doesn't stop until I pull out the power cord.

It's been running like a champion for over a month, but I'm considering getting a replacement unit (RMA). I just want to alert other users and get some feedback on whether you get the same noise or not.

Kindly update the thread with any advice or results on shutting down your own extenders. :)

  • if its producing any sound its a sign of maybe a hardware issue. have you tried resetting it?if its still the same and the device is still under hardware warranty better yet ask for replacement sir.
  • Did you encounter this problem when you 1st purchased the extender?
