Hi all,

Wondered if you could help me with what is possibly a configuration/setup issue my side.

I've been running a 2862ac on top of a Cisco router for 100MB Fibre, been running this for some time and everything has been smooth.
We recently moved premises to a larger place so needed to extend the WiFi coverage.
I've added an AP810 which for now I want to run in Universal Repeater Mode (Will be running network cable later).

I've set this up but am seeing massive drops in available data, even at the short range it's at while testing.

I get 100MB at the Router, but a few metres away through the AP810 I only see about 5MB which just feels like a ridiculous amount of loss.

I've got them both running the same SSID, and the configuration seemed simple enough, but wondered if there was anything to look at again, or any gotchas that I might have missed?

Appreciate any help you can provide.

Thanks.
