Hello, 

 

I've set up the repeater and it has opened a new wifi network which has the same name as the old network but at the end in addition it reads "_EXT". So I need to choose whether to connect to the new or the old network. I thought that one of the advantages of this system is, that there would be a seamless extension of the existing network? 
 

Moreover, I've tested the internet download speed and it has not increased. Only the RSSI Value is better than before. Why is the download speed not increased? The location of the repeater is fine according to the signal light on the device. 

Any help and explanation is highly appreciated! 
 

Best regards!

Hi, May I know the model number of your Host router? Does it also support EasyMesh?

The range extender is mainly used to boost the wireless signal strength and enhance wireless connection stability. However, it does not typically increase the wireless speed. In fact, adding an extender between the mobile client and the host router increases the network hops and results in more wireless loss.

Thank you very much and best regards.
