WN2000RPT slow connection rate with new firmware?

[THZ]

Hello
my WN2000RPT is upgraded to Firmware 1.0.1.20 and since then I discover a low connection rate in the status windows, only 54mbps - and the top led on the Extender is always amber, and never green.
But my wireless connection on my laptop shows 150mbps anyway.
Both problems didn't occur with the initial firmware.
Anybody has this problem, too?

Same problem here. Has anyone got an answer?

Possible cause could be that since 1.0.1.20 only one channel is used on the extender.

reverted to v1.0.0.2 firmware which seems to have fixed the problem (for now)

make sure to rest the device after flashing the firmware 🙂

WN2000RPT now stable with old firmware but speed was still poor. Flashed my main router WNR2000v2 with DD-WRT and the extender is now flying. ??????

i guess firmware has issues with netgear huh... good know DD-WRT works out for ya. 🙂

I prefer the netgear firmware interface but as you say, if it works 🙂
