A few days after a wifi extender was installed in my house both the wifi and Ethernet have slowed down to the extent where I can only load Google after 30 seconds. This applies for all devices (I have removed the extender already and the problem still persists).
I use the Linksys WAG320N and according to the lights it's connected to both DSL and Internet. I have tried pinging to google and it's all near 70ms. Please help if you can!

I would start with checking your system for malware, using malwarebytes. Have you tried shutting everything down, for awhile, and then turning them back on? You may need to contact your ISP, as it could be a problem on their end, or with the wiring to your home. I once had slowdown issues, only when it rained. Come to find out, a squirrel had chewed on the cable, and water was getting inside.
