WMM on WiFi extender creates problems
Model : TP Link WR710N
Hardware Version : v1 00000000
Firmware Version : 3.14.9 Build 130419
ISP :
Hello.
I have an issue which in my opinion is somehow related and due to WMM.However, i have a TP Link WR940N v2/WR941ND router which is connected to fiber-optic internet and gets 100mbps internet and shares it with devices with no problems.And i also have a TP Link WR710N device which is not much far from my router and gets very good WiFi signal so i am using it to extend my WiFi with the extender mode.
But there came several issues while using internet through connecting to WiFi extender's internet.So problem is that when i download some files on PC which is connected to the extender through WiFI the speed is flactuating very badly from even 500KBps to 2MBps(despite the fact that i can downlaod same files with the speed of 10MBps while connected to the main router rather than extender).Additionally, while downloading some files through internet of extender the ping increases very bad(i amde diagnostics of both router and extender at that moment.Router is Okay but extender gets very high pings) and in that moment other devices connected to the extender cannot even surf the internet normally.
So i tried to make some changes in setting:
I turned off the WMM in extender's settings - It helped a lot! the download speed increased to 4MBps(which is still okay) and didn't have any problems with ping of extender.But after rebooting the extender it SOMETIMES didn't even want give internet to the devices connected to it.After turning WMM back on internet of extender works but extacly in the same bad way as it worked before(with low speed and high ping while downloading).
It seems to me like WMM is prioritizing the speed to devices and in conlcusion doesn't even give it to anyone but i don't know why the extender work again badly after turning it off.
I would really appreciate to hear your advice.
