thanks tacit, yes it seems to be connecting to the extender.
But I'm stumped here:
I'm using air radar, great software.
You have signal, signal average, and signal max.
Signal and signal average are almost always the same number.
Now as I write this:
In main workstation with imac and original router, the reading says 74% for signal and 76% for the average.
In the other room with the extender and laptop (with the extender right next to the laptop, is says: 96% for signal and 52% for the average.
What does that mean???
