WN3000RP - very slow wifi speed

Hi.
Just get the WN3000RP connected in my house.
No problem to connect it to my Netgear WNR3500L router. The wifi-range is now very much higher :)
But the speed is very slow. When I connect my laptop to the WN3000RP, I only get about 400 Kb/s. When I connect the laptop direct to the WNR3500L router, I get about 13 Mb/s.
Also upgraded the firmware to v1.0.1.18, and try enable the mac-address access control.
Any solution?

regards
svos

  • I've had this before. Try starting from rebooting the extender and then testing speed. You may notice over a day or two that the speed goes down. Or is it much less from the start?
  • Hi again.
    Just tried to reset the extender, but with bad results.
    Same slow speed.
