tp-wr741nd v4.2 (bridge mode) drops every 5 min/ unrecognized network
Region : Greece
Model : TL-WR741ND
Hardware Version : V4
Firmware Version : latest
ISP :
i own a tp-wr741nd for about 6 months now.
i use it as a bridge to repeat singnal accecable only on one place of my house to have access evwrywere.
the singal comes from the main router connected to antena about 200 m. away.
settings on tp-wr741nd:
wirless--> wirless settings. i anable WDS, search for the network, use the specific channel
DHCP: disabled (main router DHCP used)
network--> lan: chenge the ip in case of diplication.
the problem here is that the netwok drops (still connected-is not a connection issue i think) so i cant access enything, sometimes not even the router page. after the 1st drop occurs, and after a while it works again for few minutes/seconts then it drops again, repeating for ever. if i disconnect end reconnect it will work for about 5 minutes and start over again. i have reset the router and set it up again mltiple times but does not solve it.
the only think that works is patience, since after a while (usualy sometime the next day) it works just fine. ?????
i have update the firmware to the latest (TL-WR741ND_V4_130524) from http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/?model=TL-WR741ND&version=V4, but its all the same.
any help will be appreciated.
i can find the man router and the antena info (not at hand at the momment) or enything alse needed
plz help :)
