Make sure you get the official and the latest file of your extender which must not be corrupted. Then, power cycle the extender once and make the connections again. Now, check and notice the significant change in the extender’s performance as this will be optimized finally. It is recommended to carry out the same process frequently or whenever you see the latest firmware version on the portal.
