Problem with repeater mode - tl wr941hp

Model : TL-WR941HP

Hardware Version :

Firmware Version :

ISP :

Hi everyone,
I bought TL-WR941HP 5 days ago and I have problems with repeater mode:

1. After 3 or 4 hours the signal of the repeater disappears and disconnect me, I tried configuring a second SSID to the repeated signal and the same thing happens, after a couple of hours the signal disappears being that in the router the LED RE, WIFI are on.

2. When the signal does not disappear in the same way, it disconnects me, but when trying to enter to the SSID, it asks for a password and it tells me an incorrect password, as it is correct.
And to solve these problems I must reset the settings and reconfigure everything from 0; But the problems come back and the same cycle repeats.

Plz I need help or I´ll go crazy :(

Update the firmware of the router to the latest one.
change the wireless channel on your main router.

Then, try to reconfigure the repeater.
Good luck..

But where do I find the latest firmware version? in this page only the configuration guides are available.
To change the channel of the main router, should I use one that is not occupied by any signal close to my own?

Thx for ur response :)

I also bought TL-WR941HP to use it as a range extender and had the same situation.

After putting my main router to work at a free channel, and also changing the IP of the TL-WR941HP and turning off DHCP, the extender network as running fine, with a different SSID.

But after some hours, the connection would be lost, and I had to reset the TL-WR941HP for it to come back. I contacted TP-Link's technical support, and the technician informed me to go for the warranty, as the product should work fine (firmware is up to date).

But also my main router is not TP-Link, it is a Multilaser one. A shopkeeper said to me that even though companies inform that their products work with every other brand, they actually do not. So am I studying with is the best approach to solve my problem.

go to tp-link official website to download the latest firmware.

Make sure it's suitable for your current version, for example, your current one is EU version, you can only update the EU version.

Yes, change a relative loose channel. good luck..

Generally speaking, they should work properly if you can set them successfully.

If it's possible, try to exchange the location and set the TL-WR941HP as the main router and configure range extender on your other one.

I have the latest firmware version, I also tried using a free channel, moving the repeater to another site but I still have the same problems.
My main router is Mikrotik hAP Lite, maybe that's the problem?

TL-WR941HP should support bandwidth control or Qos.

Did you set any mac filtering on your Mikrotik hAP lite? If yes, it may affect the normal connection between Mikrotik and 941HP.

Suggest you exchanging 941HP and Mikrotik to see whether you can establish repeater connection.

I retired the Mikrotik hAP Lite, now my main router is the TL-WR941HP and as a repeater I have another AP Tp Link, but the problem is the same.
