Ex2700 output power

Finally got my ex2700 extender up and working, terrible experience, lots of trial and error.  It appeared to not help coverage, so I did some testing.  Received signal from the router measured at extender was -60dbm, very good. Re-transmitted signal was -78 dbm, measured right next to extender, very bad.   It appears the extender has very low power output.  Once again Netgear disappoints.  Any suggestions?

Re: Ex2700 output power

What router do you have? 

The EX2700 is the most basic extender netgear offers and is a simple N300 device. 

It'll extend range a bit further than the router but isn't going to do much more than that. and not at any sort of decent speed either as its a pretty slow device. 

What are you trying to accomplish?

Router is Centurylink C1100T,  works well.

 

My living room is quite a distance from the router and I was hoping to improve service by putting extender halfway.
