I’m using the dual band router supplied by Spectrum internet, a rac2v1k. All sites work fine when connecting directly to the router’s WiFi, either channel.
When I connect a network extender, (originally tried a Netgear ex6150, currently using a linksys re7000), the setup and configuration appears to work correctly. I can log into the extender and see signal strength, IP the router assigned the extender, etc, but can only access google sites such as google.com and YouTube.
I’ve run new searches to make sure I’m not just pulling a cached page. I’ve even brought the extender to another house and tested on another router (ASUS rt-ac66u) and it’s working just fine. This leads me to believe it is some kind of DNS issue between the router and the extender.
It isn’t a range issue as it’s plugged in within a few feet of the router in both instances for setup purposes. I’ve tried with cell phone, tablet and laptop, same results in all cases.
Any suggestions on what I need to check or change in the rac2v1k router? I really don’t want to have to go buy another router.
