WiFi 7 LAN ports

[rowsell71]

HI,

Just moved over to WiFi 7 on EE and i am having trouble with extenders, i have 1 plugged into port 1 with no issues. i have another in port 2 and nothing works, i have tried ports 3 and 4 same results.

i have also tried to connect the smart hybrid in ports 2,3 and 4 and that wont connect either?

how do i check the ports are on or off?

at 1 stage i had an extender in port 2 and it appears as a device on Port 1?

any help will be great.

thanks

Ports are not switchable off.

Hi @rowsell71 

Do you need the extenders as the improved WiFi frequencies on WiFi 7 should mean a better signal.

Thanks

Hi, Sadly my house is made of clay lump and I loose the signal in parts of the house.

Just not sure why only port 1 works and the others don't?

Thanks XRaySpex, not sure why I can't get anything connected to ports 2,3 or 4?

Bit of a shame. 

Have you checked the router settings to see if the ports are active (data sending and receiving). 

Thanks

Thank you.

How do you check the ports if they are active?

@rowsell71   If you move the cable you have in port 1 to the other ports, does the extender still work?

Hi Mustrum,

I have 2 extenders plugged in, 1 in port 1 and working with 10 devices connected. The other is in port 2 with nothing connected and not registered.

I have just taken port 1 out and put in port 4 and I now have the following:

Port 4 (was in port 1) has now got nothing connected and is not shown in port 4. 

Port 2 which was inactive now is active and shows 10 devices connected?

Not sure why they won't work at the same time. Extenders are 2 different style extenders so it would not be conflicting with each other. If I unplug the now port 4 the connected devices drops from 10 to 9 devices connected to port 2???

@rowsell71   what make/type/model numbers are these extenders?
