I have had the router installed since 2017 and haven't had much trouble but when my girls are home from college they complain that their Iphones will not work on wifi, shows connection but no service. Now I've noticed that an extender shows connection but no internet. I checked the firmware update and it's up to date. Can anyone tell me if you have had the same problems? I have 3 extenders (one doesn't work and two are working) 4 Tivo's, 4 other iphones, 2 IPADs, 2 smart tv's, security camera's which is connected directly to extender on the network. Is it possibly overloading the system? Is is time for an upgrade? Please give me your experience with these issues if you have some.
I've checked firmare on the wifi router and it's up to date through the GENIE. I've follow a couple of instructions of resetting the router and the phones and then I tried resetting the phone settings and neither worked. So I'm at a loss!

I usually tell people to avoid multiple extenders. If you're needing more than 1 extender to cover a home, its better to move to an actual mesh system like netgear orbi or the nighthawk MK series. They're designed for multiple AP's.
Plus you're using a router that was manufactured 11 years ago and is a couple generations behind on technology. Its doesn't lead to great coverage/roaming/stability.
