I have the RouterBOARD 941-2nD, and it was not setup by me. It works just fine and I have it mostly to control the amount of broadband each user can have and such.
I’m sorry, but I didn’t find this in the forum.
I need to expand my wireless network as the house is a little big and has a lot of concrete. I used to have a generic repeater (have no idea which brand) and the same guy that setted my mikrotik up made it work, but then the little thing just died.
I bought 3 different repeater models, and am currently with the TP-link WA850Re.
I can’t set them up even if my life depended on it. I tried a lot of things, though I believe I’m trying wrong. What happens is that I set the repeater accordingly, just to extend my wireless network, and the configuration lasts for minutes, like 15 minutes tops. After that the repeater becomes inaccessible, unless I unplug it and plug it again, which will make it work for another few minutes.
That happens even when monitoring shows not much data packs lost or the signal is great. I really don’t know what to do anymore and I need that little guy working ASAP.
Any help? Need any archives to see how my setup is? (if u need please tell me where to get them)
I’ve got the same configuration, same range extender and same symptoms. It seems that the TP-LINK WA850RE range extender will lose connection immediately if I try to do a speed test running at 20Mbps. Otherwise it lasts for a few minutes of general use and then dies until resetting it. The same range extender worked with a previous router.
If anyone has any idea on what settings might need to be changed here, we’d be extremely grateful.
I did try increasing the lease time and also providing a static IP to the TP-LINK extender.
Neither of these worked. I can consistently cause the extender to lose connection with the router (or crash) by performing a speed test on Speedtest.net
The download is 100% stable at the fully rated 20Mbps (the limit of the fibre connection I have), but the moment it starts it’s upload at the same rate, the extender simply stops responding. The connection is not dropped, but there is no communication with the TP-LINK extender. I can’t even get to the extender’s management page - it’s like it has crashed entirely.
This can be achieved within a minute of it starting up, so not related to lease time, and happens consistently. I’ve bought a newer TP-LINK extender to see if that makes a difference.
