Ext vs Non EXT WiFi
Ext vs Non EXT WiFi
You're experiencing differences between 5G and 5GExt networks. The "EXT" at the end typically indicates an enhanced version or a specific service tier. Switching to a standard 5G should resolve connectivity issues, but understanding these upgrades can help you decide.
It seems like you're trying to confirm that this device is your Wi-Fi extender.
People in my house experienced problems with their devices when I used the router on the second floor and connected via Ethernet. After moving it to the first floor, the Ethernet connection was lost and they added a Wi-Fi extender upstairs, hoping it would help. I tried a good USB Wi-Fi adapter, but it actually worsened the connection. So far, I haven’t had any drops like before, so I’m reporting the fix. Tomorrow I might just leave it unplugged since most of my family uses their devices on the first floor now. Another odd issue was our TV suddenly going black and losing signal, but I suspect that’s unrelated to the internet since they don’t sync.
