Wifi Extender Really Slow

My extender is really slow and is having issues. I have already checked the main router and that is not the issue. I'm having speeds, on my AC1900 with an ethernet connection, caps at ~30mb/s download and ~25mb/s upload, when both should be 150-200mb/s. Furthermore, when I join a game on multiplayer, the internet speed crashes and I lose connection to the internet. I have tried replugging the extender, going through the setup again, factory resetting, FastLane, changing coverage, changing wifi channel, and updating firmware. This extender is relatively new, less than 1 year since I bought it, and I have never had an issue with it until now. I have tried looking through forum posts but none have been conclusive.
