I agree with what you are saying. However, what I am looking for you have addressed when you said, ...."I should modify something." What are the exact things /areas I could look into to see if something needs an adjustment on our 3 computers. I know everything should be in sync for this to work properly. They completed the extender's smart wizard program, they all have the same level of security, they are all in a home group network, they all use the same SSID (example X_EXT), they all connect automatically to an address, not manually, they all use the same security pass phrase which does not have to be entered all the time. What else can I check to see if everything is aligned correctly? I appreciate your feedback. beachguy.
