Pathetic download speeds via extender
Hello, I am using WN3000RP in combination with in combination with my Netgear DGN2200v4 router. This router as you must be aware of supports both ADSL and Ethernet WAN. When I connect this router to ADSL and my Extender is connected to it, I get full speeds (8 Mbps). However if I connect it via Ethernet using Port 4 as WAN, I get horrible HORRIBLE speeds when I am connected to Extender. My internet speed is 100 Mbps and my laptop manages to pick speeds of around 50-60 Mbps on wireless directly from the router on the same spot where the extender is plugged in, however, the extender at MAX gives me 5 Mbps speed.
OS used: Windows, Android, iOS
Requesting your valuable help in this.
Thanks in Advance

Hi theHeman,
Can you please confirm the WN3000RP version? v1, v2, or v3?
Is it running the latest firmware?
You can try switching the WiFi channel:
