7.7.9 Firmware update reduced range of Airport Extreme
I have a Airport Extreme base (tall).
I did an update to the latest firmware (Dec 14th 2017) as the device was flashing with a amber signal light.
Current version reads 7.7.9.
My bedroom (2nd floor) has a Amazon Fire Stick set up on my TV, which I have had for years (updating the fire sticks periodically) which was getting the wireless signal (5ghz) as very good.
After the firmware update of the AE, the 5ghz network was "out of range" and I am not able to access it anymore. I still have access to 2.4ghz network but it confuses me why all of a sudden after an update the range has been reduced and the Fire Stick can't even see the 5ghz network .
I have always used 5ghz in my bedroom as I would stream UHD movies on a 150mb internet connection.
Anything I can do to fix the range.
