RE200 constantly dropping internet
I got a RE200 a few months ago and it worked mostly well initially. But now it's constantly dropping internet, sometimes for minutes at a time, sometimes even longer. I know it's not the router because I can get (slow) internet through that when the repeater's down. When it's having problems, I often see the two wi-fi bands dropping in and out. Here's what I've done to try and fix this...
- I've tried connecting to it through an ethernet cable.
- I've set the router to a stable channel with minimal interference so the repeater doesn't have to deal with channel switching.
- I've put the repeater on a static IP.
- I've changed the bandwidth from 20MHz to 40MHz on the router.
- I've moved it to two different locations, one closer to me (to test whether it was my connection) and one closer to the router (to test whether it was an issue with being too far from the router)
- I've updated the repeater firmware to the latest version I could find.
At this point I really don't know what else I can do. The router is a NetComm Wireless NF4V if that helps.
Any ideas would be gratefully accepted.
