Adding wifi extender as extension of existing home wifi seems to cause dead spot between the two
Adding wifi extender as extension of existing home wifi seems to cause dead spot between the two

Any help gratefully accepted...
I had a powerline Ethernet only network of three extenders and recently added a wifi extender. I used the utility tool to change the default network name and PW to match that of my existing home wifi from my service providers modem. The setup worked correctly and I see the wifi signal from the new powerline extender on my phone & tablet. I can also commect to it successfully when in the same room. I have modem in room 1 and extender in room 2.
The problem I have us that the new unit seems to be conflicting with the modem's wifi and I find that I now cannot connect to either when I'm equidistant between the two in room 3. I used to be able to connect to the modem well in this room before the powerline extender was installed. My Room 3 deadspot is only 6 meters from the modem and about about 8 meters from the powerline.
Any thoughts on why this is and how to fix?
