EX7500 Extender installed, but no connection
The installation seems satisfactory (blue lights for WEP, power and router link), but I can not connect devices to the extended network. I have a Roku stick, Kindle Fire 10, and iPhone7 that I would like to use in the area of low signal. They show the 5Ghz channel in their options but when I select it, neither of the connection lights on the extender come on at all.Can I use my 5ghz channel over the extender?
My Netgear 6100 router has 2.5 and 5 ghz channels. I'm using a WN3000 rpv3 extender to reach a difficult area. My current setup sends only the 2.5 ghz channel to the remote area. Can I "attach" the extender to the 5 ghz channel, or is that beyond its capability? How do I make that change in the router or the extender (if I can)?
ex7300 router to extender connect
This extender is working well, but I am wondering what is best configuration to use, what are the pros/cons, of router:extender and extender:client. Use both 2.4 and 5 Ghz for both: Use 2.4 from router and 5 to client; or use 5 from router and then 2.4 to client? Thanks DC
