Hi I have the SE210 wifi booster. I am on 150mbps. I have today realised that the booster does not boost. I have done a reset etc a few times . And tried the booster on different positions. What ever speed I get on my iPhone next to the booster is exactly the same with the booster switched off? Also looking at the app on my pnobe the booster icon says nothing connected etc. all 3 lights are on the hub . Please advise

A 'booster' is intended to extend range, not speed, when positioned halfway between source and client device: such hardware would be better described as a repeater or relay.

@toptinker Then what distance from the Hub to the booster and you to the booster when checking, if your phone is still latched to the hub wi-fi that is where it stay's.

I have tried in different positions from 2 meters to 8 plus. So to avoid confusion I don't now see a connection green light.
