update Joe, if still there:
Its now working again-- so I'll hold my breath.
Question:
the original router has 74% connection rate.
The laptop in other room without extender is 30%.
With extender it goes to 50%. (that the average speed. I'll go with that -- lowest speed listed)
Is that normal?
(still 50 from 30 is worth $70...)
but,I was thinking the extender would bump the laptop to the speed of the original. I guess not?
