Hi,

I have just bought WA850RE and configured as extender for my original network (same-name-Ext)
I check that latest FW is installed. HW is V6.

PROBLEM:

when one of my devices logs on to the -Ext network, it does not get the IP reserved for it by the host router (based on MAC address) .
It gets a completely new IP (in the same subnet, of course).
This happens despite the fact that I turned off the extender DHCPbin the "Network" section (DHCP Server: "Off") and despite the fact that the default gateway for the extender is set to my router's address.



What's wrong?
I really need to be able to use my router's DHCP through the extender...it makes no senso to me to have an intermediate one... this should be the DEFAULT behavior!
Any chance to obtain what i want through the settings or should I just throw this extender away?
