Weird behavior

Hello from the other side!

Issue : Range extender wifi suddenly does not let me connect to it oftentimes. If I am connected I have noticed a slow down in speed AND the worst part, while browsing the app, many sites don't open. I get a server not found error message (in any browser I use). If I disconnect from the range extender wifi and connect directly via wifi to the router I can access certain sites.

 

Example : I google for mazda (car brand) and on the top of googles searchengine I see a AD mazda site. I can't open it with the range extender wifi but with the regular router wifi.

 

Now oftentimes even though the booster signal is strong, it does not let me connect to it. I unplugged the router and range extender, reinstalled the range extender (via reset and netgear genie), replaced the netgear EX6200 with a newer model EX7000 and I have the exact same issue.

 

Any idea?

Model: EX6200|AC1200 WiFi Range Extender

Hello hellofromhere12,

 

Please factory reset the router and extender. After resetting, run through the extender setup and let us know if your issue persists.
