You can log into the extender and check connection status to the main router as well as which devices are connected to it.
you can either log in through mywifiext . net or using the ip address for the extender (find it in the attached devices page on the c7000)
one thing to keep in mind is you will see a significant speed difference from 2.4ghz to 5ghz.
You'll also see half the speed of what the router is putting in for 2.4ghz and 5ghz. Reason why extenders have to go router---extender and then extender---devices and they can't do both at once.
So at best they'll have half the speed of what the router is putting out from each band.
Make sure you're comparing 2.4ghz speed to 2.4ghz and not 5ghz. they won't be close to the same.
