Model : TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version : V1.2

Firmware Version :
3.14.8 Build 140826 Rel.63335n
ISP :


so for a long time now I've been having this problem with my home network: the network extender simply blocks ping requests if they're from the main router. So if I sit in the living room and connected to the main router, I cannot ping anything that's in a distant room (and is behind the extender). When I move to the room and my phone hops to the extender, my pings go through. Any idea what's going on?Setup: Tplink tl-wr1043nd router set up as dhcp on 192.168.1.1 Tplink tl-wa850re extender set up with no dhcp on 192.168.1.2Both with latest firmware

Can the clients which are connecting the extender access Internet normally? Only ping fails?

Yes, clients can connect fine. But any attempt to connect from the main ap to the clients fail, which sucks cause I can't access my media server.It's interesting to note that after a while - a few hours usually - the clients suddenly become accessible, but I haven't figured out why or when. This repeats every day.Also - when pinging FROM the ap to the clients the ping usually works, but not from anything connected to the ap. I'm stumped

Try to upgrade the latest firmware and reconfigure it again. Still use mode 2.
