Basically, I have bought this TP-WPA4220KIT as my room was a place where the wifi could reach.
It has been almost a year now and it did not give me any problems.
However, recently it has been giving me absolutely zero download speed or just 1mbps. I have even trouble watching videos as it keeps stuttering, dont even mention 720p nor 1080p. My friend told me that he went through a total of 4 TP Link Range extender as all of them had a blown capacitor. I thought it might be the same in my case.
This is an extract from the warranty card:
"Warranty Does not Cover:
a) Parts requiring replacement due to normal use, fair wear and tear, natural disatears, rust stains and corrosions.
c) Parts that are burnt due to any circumstances, whether under normal usage or not."
This would mean that even if the case of my capacitor being blown due to normal usage, they would not replace it as its not covered under the warranty.
Right now, I'm asking if anybody has experienced this problem and did something in the Range extender settings which solved the problem. I'm trying to avoid buying a new range extender as it is really pricy.
Extra info:
-The range extender seems to be quite warm/hot when you touch it.
-When you pull the range extender out from the plug and place it back in, it works for a couple of seconds before going back to poor performance.
-The PC nearest to my modem is recieving about 50mbps via wifi ( result provided by speedtest.net )
-I have done a full system scan using Norton to ensure that this isnt a case of a virus that's using up my lagging me.
Sorry about my english, grammer etc. Haha
Thanks.
