@Solla-topee hello

The range extender may extend Wi-Fi signal but it does not maintain the connection. This FAQ will guide you to do some tests to exclude possibility caused by router other elements beside the range extender.

End-device means computer, laptop, mobile phone, etc.

What should I do if my device keeps disconnecting from the internet when it’s connected to TP-Link Range Extender?

  @Solla-topee 

I have recently bought a TP-LINK WA801N v6 (with latest Firmware) and have configured it as a WiFi-WiFi extender.

Connection has been made with Modem (same SSID) but the connection constantly drops out then back in making it quite useless.

Using the progran NETSPOT the graph (attached) shows that the Modem signal is constant yet the WA801N fluctuates on/off every 20 seconds.

I also have an old TP-LINK TL-WR702N Nano Router configured "in the same position as the 801N" that gives an excellent constant signal - never dips.

The attached screen shows the TP-LINK WA801N v6 losing connection then regaing the signal.

Thanks

I received a notice that you replied but could not see any entry. Are you pointing to your generic reply re fault finding ? If so did all those checks and did not solve problem.

Also as I explained - I also have an old TP-LINK TL-WR702N Nano Router configured "in the same position as the 801N" that gives an excellent constant signal - never dips.

I decided to inform the retailer about the problem and we settled to try another model TP-LINK WR940N. Installed it, configured exactly like previous model ( WA801N v6 ) in exactly same position ran signal strength monitor and received an excellent constant signal.

I'm 100% sure that the original unit WA801N v6 was faulty.

Making Use of the Manual Method
The Manual technique, also known as TP-Link Installation Assistance, is used by millions of people all around the world to set up TP-Link repeaters.

Here are the steps to manually configure your TP-Link repeater:

Check the stability of the connection between your Tp-Link repeater and the host router.
Next, turn on your client device and open a web browser.
To avoid technical issues, make sure you're using the most recent version of your browser. Aside from that, your computer or laptop is free of bugs and virus software.

Note: To avoid technical issues, confirm that you are using the latest version of the browser. Apart from this, your laptop or computer is free from bugs and malware software.

• In the address bar, type the web address and click on the Enter option. To get accurate results, always use the location bar instead of the search bar.
• Within a couple of seconds, the TP-Link repeater login page will appear.

  @Solla-topeeProblem solved!!  I have a model RE505x which required rebooting essentially every day.  All 4 LEDs stays illuminated but the extender would lose the connection to the router.   I made 3 easy and quick wireless extender setting changes 2 weeks ago and haven't had to reboot once.  As  the problem seems to affect many wireless extender models, it's worth a try even if you have a different model extender.  The first thing to do is reboot the extender.  Then log into it and go to the "Network" tab.  (1) Scroll down to the DHCP section.  The detault setting for the DHCP server was "auto".  Change it to "on".  (2) Go down to the "IP Address pool" and note the default settings.  For me, the first address was 10.0.0.200 and the second address was 10.0.0.250.  Change the first address to 10.0.0.150.  (3) Scroll down to the "Address lease time".  The default setting was 1.  Change it to 1440.  Afterwards, make sure to hit the "Save" button near the bottom of the page toward the right side.  Finally, log out.  I hope this quick fix works for all of you.  Good luck! 

I'm not technically knowlegable enough to explain why any of these settings did the trick or whether one or two of the three were unnecessary.  In any case, I have had a stable connection to all 12 of my devices and my throughput speed didn't change.  As far as my router is concerned, I'm on a Comcast (Xfinity) provided "gateway", which is a combination modem/router.  I've made no changes to the default settings.  My immediate environment is extremely noisey with respect to wifi signals.  I live in a large, multi-story building which has a bulk contract with Comcast.  Therefore, everyone in the building has wifi.  Some residents have purchased mesh networks, others have purchased wireless extenders.  Since Comcast doesn't include those devices in the contract there are many different brands and models of equipment in use to increase coverage of the wifi signals being transmitted by each resident's gateway.
