Adding wifi extender as extension of existing home wifi seems to cause dead spot between the two

Any help gratefully accepted...
I had a powerline Ethernet only network of three extenders and recently added a wifi extender. I used the utility tool to change the default network name and PW to match that of my existing home wifi from my service providers modem. The setup worked correctly and I see the wifi signal from the new powerline extender on my phone & tablet. I can also commect to it successfully when in the same room. I have modem in room 1 and extender in room 2.
The problem I have us that the new unit seems to be conflicting with the modem's wifi and I find that I now cannot connect to either when I'm equidistant between the two in room 3. I used to be able to connect to the modem well in this room before the powerline extender was installed. My Room 3 deadspot is only 6 meters from the modem and about about 8 meters from the powerline.
Any thoughts on why this is and how to fix?
