WiFi Range Extender (6150) has Great Speed at 5Ghz, but Very Slow at 2.4
Hope to get some help - after a factory reset this past weekend and a reconfigure for my network, all is up and running now. I have my Netgear X4 router upstairs and the range extender downstairs, but not too far apart (different floors). I seem to remember I would get very speeds when I'd test (use the Ookla app on my smartphone and on my Mac, I use a web site to measure speeds) prior to the factory reset. Now, the speeds when measured on the 5gz are close to 90-100mb download but the 2.4 band is lucky to see 15-20. If I measure the regular 2.4 band (NOT the ext network), i get very fast speeds, so it seems like it's something within the extender settings? Any tips? I realize it could be neighbors, microwaves, etc etc, but this did not seem to be an issue before. The Extender is in the dining room near the kitchen. Help?

Hi,
I have several other devices yes. However, I found by further testing, speeds improved quite a bit. Of course, not as fast as 5Ghz, but well within my expectations. I realize due to the proximity of the extender to microwaves and other things including neighbors wifi, there will be times of intermittent slowness. Thank you!
