EX8000 Extender Slow
I just set up this extender. Althought he signal strength has improved the download speed is terrible. Its over 300mbps without extender and approx 10mbps with it. Any advice? Thanks

Re: EX8000 Extender Slow
What router do you have it connected to?
What firmware is on the extender?
How big is the home?
What is the interior of the home made up of?
How far from the router is the extender?
If you log into the extenders setting pages (through the browser) take a screen snip of the status page. it lets us check the backhaul.
I'd also advise hardwiring into the extender to check speeds.
Another thought is 2.4ghz is slow. And the ex8000 does bandsteering. Make sure the device you're testing on isn't on 2.4ghz.

Re: EX8000 Extender Slow
10-20 feet is actually a little close.
1 other thing i'd try is factory reset the ex8000. Then install it using the assistant. While installing, uncheck the "extender 2.4gh" selection. It'll still use 2.4ghz but will for the extender to use the 5ghz backhaul. And this ensures its not falling back on the 2.4ghz if there's issues with the 5ghz.
