This is giving me headaches.. I can't understand why I loose the very first packets when I wire my printer to the TP Link RE200
If you have any ideas to solve this issue, please let me know. I fear this is an incompatibility, I hope not...

 

I recently move a network printer (Dell 1320c) that was initially wired on an TP LINK AX50 to a place with no RJ45. I found in the TP LINK RE200 a great solution to bring this RJ45 option.


Until there, everything is going well, and I can even print (the target). Where I stuck, is that every first print fail, like if the system was awaking a bit to late.
Looking at a "ping -t" command to my printer, I can see the same situation occurring. 
Packets 2 & 3 are always lost, then system is responding. And then I can chain ping and it will works. 
This scheme repeats systematically after I leave it alone 1 minute.

 

ping -t 192.168.0.30

Here are some tries I already done :

  • Changing RJ45 cable, and even routing it differently.. : same issue
  • Static IP from router : Same issue
  • Static IP defined from printer webpage : same issue
  • Changing place / or  wifi strength settings : same issue
  • Tried ping from 2 different computer (W10) : same issue
  • Reboot as much as required : same issue
  • Wire a computer on RE200 : works, neither packet lost, nor bandwidth speed decrease
  • Wire printer directly to the TP Link AX50 (as before) : works like before

Waiting TP Link engineers can analyze more deeply this issue, for people who could also meet this problem, I found a little workaround that is not terrible but avoid to loose any print.

 

As a print workaround, I run the "Ping" command first in order to wake up systems, and then, when I loose no packets anymore, I can print successfully.

Coming back to this subject for any one who could fall into this issue...


Well after several coming and going without real means to fix this situation, I went to my local shop in order to get a solution.
They send it back to TP Link, and I got a new one several weeks later.surprise

 

Not surprisingly, result was the same, as this is a compatibility issue between TP Link & Dell Printer. I finally get refunded.. angry


After that, I bought a D-Link DAP-1325, that was not so easy to make settings, but now works like a charm.
