Model: RE200  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 4125

Hello, i was using the re200 for quite some time as an extender, trying to use it as a AP right now doesn't seem to work. I saw something about setting it up on the router but i have no idea how to. I can't connect to internet. I have a switch in my room and it seems everything is trying to go through the RE200. My pc looses connection when i try to connect it and is shown as in the addresses. When i came home it worked but i forgot my password and i had to reset the device. What should i do? 

 

Just to mention the setup is router > switch > re200

 

I'm also trying to find how to not make it as a dhcp on my switch. If there's anything to do to turn it off I'd love to try it. Just want to use it as an AP

When RE200 is configured in AP mode you have to disable its DHCP server. In this mode your devices will receive their IP addresses from your main router.

Here's a guide on how to setup RE200 in AP mode.

RE200 DHCP server settings should be under Settings > Network > DHCP Server:

 

Do you have this setting in your RE200 WebGUI ? This DHCP server should be turned off when RE200 is in AP mode.

Nop I don't have that been trying to find it but no luck don't see it in any menu. In Network i have default gateway subnet mask primary\secondary dns, no dhcp settings at all. I kept googling and everyone points to that but i don't see anyone with the RE200

You could try this FW and check if you can disable RE200 DHCP server to resolve your issue.

There shouldn't be any problem to revert back to your current FW release if this doesn't work for you.
