Thank you for your concern, but the concrete wall is not the issue. When I unplugged the Nighthawk, the signal is absolutely fine.
I was looking for advice / comment why the Netgear Nighthawk would slow donw, rather than improve the signal of the Amazon Fire TV stick.
The EX7500 does band steering. Is it putting the fire stick on the 2.4ghz band? its more sensitive to interference than the 5ghz band.
I have done EVERYTHING! I used 2.4, 5, I switched it to my other networks including Apple Time Capsule, and amazingly the one that gives the best signal (still too low for TV) is my old BT dish! Not Vodafone (my router)!
Thank you for your comment. I have retruned the Nighthawk, and bought a simple 2-band Wifi Booster for half the price, and it works like a charm. I can see whether the 2.4 or th 5 is stronger and switch it around. With the nighthawk I couldnt do that.
