I just downloaded the newest firmware to my wn3000rp extender. Watching the status, my connection was 40mbps before the update, then went to 11-14mbps after the updated firmware was installed. What happened?? Is this a bad firmware that has issues? New Firmware version : V1.0.2.64_1.1.86 Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me. This is disheartening. :confused : :(

Are you still having this problem? I bought this extender today, and experienced a speed decline after updating to the same firmware. I went from 10+ mbit to 2 mbit. What I had to do was downgrade to the previous firmware (V1.0.1.36_1.1.47). You can find it here:

It's a direct download link for the firmware.

Anyways, just saw you got no answers, and I think it's faulty firmware.
