RE causing wifi disconnection
Model :
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version :
ISP :
I purchased a pair of TL-WA850RE range extenders which initially worked well by boosting my wifi signal. However after a couple of days I found my wifi disconnected from some equipment but not others. Rebooting my modem fixed this but 2 days later the same thing. This situation was unchanged for 2 weeks. Spoke to my ISP, who supplied the modem, and they suggested some changes, ie channel, use 2.4 only, etc. Problem of disconnections continued unabated. Unplugged both REs and problem has disappeared (2 weeks, no disconnections), along with reverting back to a weaker wifi signal. Effectively the REs are causing the disconnection and the modem is not the issue. Is there something in their setup I can do to get them to give me a stronger signal but eliminate the ongoing disconnections? I'm no tech head so simple advice please.
