RE650 v1 keeps disconnecting from Internet
I bought the RE650 extender about a month ago and it's been giving me problems ever since.
I set it up in Access Point mode, and it's directly wired to my router.
Every few minutes (kind of randomly), it will lose its connection to the Internet. The LEDs on the extender stay lit.
How it's configured:
- Access Point mode
- DHCP is off (tried with it ON, no difference)
- Dynamic IP (tried with a static one, , no difference)
- Wireless: 2.4GHz is on, 5GHz is off (tried with both on and with 5GHz only, no difference)
- Wired directly into my router (HomeHub 3000 provided by Bell Canada)
They only time it works for a while is when I unplug the unit and plug it back in. Then, eventually, the Internet Status will go to 'Unknown' and then 'Disconnected' and any wireless device going through the extender can't connect to the Internet anymore.
I've tested the ethernet cable, it works fine (yes, I also used different cables, just in case). Tried rebooting my router several times as well, but the issue persists.
Not sure what else to do at this point, is my hardware faulty?
