WiFi extender not working with more than 1 device

I am using it along with Huawei E8372   it works perfectly fine when using it on only one device but as soon as I connect any other device (Cellphone, Laptop, tab or anything) the speed significantly drops. I tried resetting, changing network type, frequency modes but none of the changes worked. 

 

Please help.

Hello @vinaychittora - Please ensure that your extender is on the latest FW. After upgrading firmware, please perform a factory reset and running through the set up again.

Hi @Christian_R,

 

Thanks for the response. I am running on Firmware Version: V1.0.2.74 and it seems it's the latest one right now as on upgrade screen it says "Your firmware is up to date."
Lastly, I have already have reset the device but it has no effect.

Hi @vinaychittora - Were you having any issues before? Or is this the first time you're running this setup? If possible, please try using a different WiFi source and let us know if your issue persists.
