RE200 v3 admin page not working, dropping connection to router and clients
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello
I'm using the RE200 v3 using the latest firmware https://static.tp-link.com/2020/202011/20201120/RE200_V3_201030.zip (re200v3_eu-up-ver1-1-2-P1[20201030-rel39260])
but I have these problems every day:
1) The unit disconnects from the main router/dhcp server while in extender mode. there's no problem setting up the connection and addresses (static management IP, DNS, gateway, SSID, etc), but it never lasts more than a few hours. there's no problem with channels, or signal quality, to make myself clear, the setup is OK.
2) The clients get 'no internet access', meaning only local network connectivity
3) The unit stops the httpd daemon for the management page, or maybe changes the IP to something else, because at the same time this happens, the management page is unreachable through the static IP that I assigned it. I've tried the local hostname tplinkrepeatersomething to access the admin page, but the outcome is the same. the management page is down.
4) The firmware upgrade sometimes report 'cannot connect to cloud', so when this happens I switch back and forth the DNS IP from the ones supplied by my ISP to cloudflare's. Sometimes it successfully checks updates with my DNS's and sometimes with 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1
The only solution is to unplug the repeater and plug it again. then it starts to work as intended, but again after a few hours the problem returns. Also, and quite interesting, there are no errors in the system log. edit: almost forgot, as a makeshift solution also tried using the power schedule to simulate a reboot 3 times every day, but the problem persists.
I'm a new member of this forum and I read several posts with similar problems, but with no solution other than 'return it'. Sadly I'm way past any warranty, so I'm stuck with an unusable piece of networking equipment.
Any advice? thoughts? any experimental or homebrew firmware? is this product really fubar?
Hi, we will try our best to help~
Please make sure extender have a different SSID/ Wi-Fi name from main router.
1 > If 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz lights are still " On" when RE lost Internet , please try manually set up the DHCP Server on RE as the photo attached and observe the performance.
2> If 2.4Ghz/5Ghz Led goes "OFF" when RE lost Internet, please put RE in the same room from router, and check its stability.
If same issue occurs, when issue happens again, please connect to RE's wifi and check its IP address & gateway address and send to us.
Please let us know the model of your router, thank you.
