I am baffled! My parents bought a new Panasonic smart TV and couldn't get it to connect to their ancient router which is hardwired to their ancient desktop pc. Since Currys were selling Netgear router extenders cheap I thought I'd try one before splashing out their cash on a new router.
Having set it up I am bit baffled how the new dual band extender is putting out a 5g signal when the router is an ancient bit of kit that isn't dual band. I have used wifi signal scanner and am seeing the 2.4g router signal, the 2.4g extender signal - but also a 5g extender signal.
How's that happen?
(For the record it all works - I connected the TV and my laptop to the 5g signal and it's stronger and faster than both 2.4g signals.)
