TP-Link re450 doesn't get IP.
Hi,
I just bought a new TP-Link RE450 extender for my home.
I have an Asus RT-AC86U router, with no limitations working fine, but I wanted to improve WiFi signal at other side.
I switch on RE450, connect using WiFi or Ethernet (I just tried both), and using configuration wizard I detect both WiFi and configure to extend them.
After configuration I can connect to extender, but I can't get internet connection. I checked configuration and tried several things:
- Set a static IP, out of DCHP range of Asus Router, same subnet and Asus router IP as gateway. Result: not connection to internet.
- Set a static IP and turn off DCHP server of Extender (so Asus would give IPs to devices connected to extender. Result: not connection to internet.
- Set dynamic IP with DCHP server of Exterder. Result: not connection to internet.
And I also noticed that after a few minutes, extender doesn't respond anymore and I have to restart it. Asus router never stop working, so problem seems to be related to Tp-link extender.
I also tried to update to last firmware (for V3 hardware) and reset configuration to default.
I'm really dissapointed about extender, any idea about why is not working fine?
If I don't get a solution, I'll have to get a refund.
