Hello
i have two new airport extremes
iit's a roaming network
mmodem - AE main base - gig switch - AE extended connected via Ethernet
AE main base signal excellent data rate 1000 mbs
AE extended via Ethernet gig switch signal good data rate 100mbs
thanks in advance
why is the AE 2 got a lesser signal and data rate ?
Plug the AE2 directly into AE1 with a short patch lead.. and see if the speed goes up to 1Gbps.. if not the AE2 has something wrong with it.. reset to factory and try again.. still no luck swap AE1 and AE2 and see if the problem follows the AE or stays in the same place..
That will give you a good idea if AE2 is actually faulty and you can take it back to the supplier for testing/replacement.

thank you for the response, I have tried your suggestion but now I can't get that page back up that gave me the original information?

Factory reset.. always always factory reset and it will bring everything back. It is your most reliable tool.
And don't use Yosemite.. the iOS version airport utility is far more reliable than Mac OS.
