Hey guys, I have an issue with my network speeds and am at a loss as to why or what I can do to resolve it.

I’ve included a layout of my house, my networking equipment, and speeds in different locations I’m using a Netgear WiFi Extender with its FastLane feature enabled to take my 5ghz network and turn it into a 2.4ghz network so that my 2.4-only devices in that room can connect to our WiFi.

I’ve tried several placements of the extended in several rooms but the speed is similar. I’ve checked all 11 channels and found the best one, and there is very little interference. I would expect at least 30mbps speeds, or more optimistically 90-100 but it’s all but unusable.

Thank you so much in advance ❤️
