on Wednesday 1/31/24 i upgraded from 100/100 internet to 300/300. the router was mounted in the garage barely 20 feet from my living room and an extender was placed in my apartment living room. since that Wednesday both my Ps5 and Ps4 cannot find an internet connection upon Initial Start Up - from either rest mode OR full shut down. both systems are full Cat5 cable wired, these SAME wires have been connected to the old router for over 6 years WITHOUT issue. now once i upgraded my systems are having trouble finding an internet connection even though they are WIRED directly to the extender???!!! the best thing i have noticed is that after initial start up.... if i wait approxomitely 15-30 seconds both playstation systems then find an internet connection and fully connect.
WHY is there a 15-30 second delay when there was NO delay for the prior 6 years? I have an upgraded Router and Faster internet speed yet a connection cannot be found!!?! no settings on either playstation system have been changed at all.
is there anyone who has had this issue? or can direct me to a solution? I've spent days troubleshooting with no luck of any solution. this isssue is painfully infuriating especially after upgrading and then having issues.
All other devices (phone & laptop) are connected to WiFi with no such issues in connectivity.
thank you community for any response,
Anthony
