RE350 in access point mode issue
2017-03-02 21:48:39
Tags:
Model : RE350
Hardware Version : Not Clear
Firmware Version : 1.0.0 Build 20160226 Rel. 57527
ISP :
I need to use RE350 in AP mode beeing connected by UTP to the router. The device is configured for the same ssid and password as the main router, DHCP server in RE350 is disabled. Client (iPhone) can assiciate, gets the IP from the central router but can not browse the internet for some minutes. Then it works, but in roaming scenario when client moves to another AP and then back, the data foes not fly again for 1-2 minutes.
I have checked with 2 HW pieces and was the same. I also did the same setup with TL-WPA8630 (using it as an AP connected by wire to router) and it works like a charm. So I see this as the sw issue on RE350 in AP mode.
Can TP-link check and fix this? AP feature in small body is getting to be more and more demanded by my custommers.
Thanks

Wouldn't TP Link provide this beta firmware for download to their customers if it works? It should be made available for downloads in their Support section.

It comes in handy if you have an Ethernet outlet in a certain area but poor wireless signal. Plus it should work better in theory as wifi range extenders cut your speeds in half

Well, in their defense, its probably not thoroughly tested so there's a chance that there's more undiscovered issues. However, you'd think they would bump up the priority on getting this out since an advertised feature doesn't work very well at all.

So this product has been out since August and this issue has presumably been occurring since then. The latest publicly available firmware is dated 6/16/16. Clearly TP-Link does not care.

The beta firmware is working well for me. Could email them and ask for it.

Just received this, and quickly encountered this problem with AP mode
2017-05-16 23:45:05
Can anyone share the beta firmware say via googledrive / dropbox please?
Mine is a Singapore region unit, with these versions reported at admin page:
Firmware Version: 1.0.0 Build 20160621 Rel. 51046(EU)
Hardware Version: RE350 v1.0
UPDATE:
I emailed support.sg@tp-link.com , citing this forum thread, and I was emailed the bin file ( re350v1_en-up-ver1-0-0-P1[20170120-rel22124].bin ) within 24 hours.
AP Mode works now. :)

@TP-Admin My RE350 is being used in UK and on the download notes for your firmware it states "Only for Singaporean/Malaysian/HongKong's users". Is there a bug fixed firmware package for UK/Europe, as there is nothing available on UK Support site?
