TL-WA730RE v2 works randomly
Region : Italy
Model : TL-WA730RE
Hardware Version : V2
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Hi,
I have a ADSL Modem WiFi Router (by D-Link) with a low wireless signal and I wanted to get it stronger.
This device has a WiFi with fixed channel (ch 6) and no wireless protection (no WEP, no WPA...).
It has an IP address set to 192.168.1.1 and runs a DHCP server that assigns IPs from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.100
I've just bought a TL-WA730RE v2 for the purpose of getting a stronger wireless signal of the device described above.
I've tried every single way to make it work:
- Pushing the black button on its back;
- Using the wizard setup on the CD;
- Manually configuring the settings with an ethernet cable and connected to 192.168.0.254. I've tried every option: Wireless Repeater and WDS, with and without DHCP for both.
With every method described above the Status page on the TL-WA730RE v2 shows a succesful connection to the D-Link WiFi (and till here it's all good).
I have 4 wireless clients to connect: 3 smartphones and 1 pc. They detect the new strong WiFi signal and can get an IP address (range 192.168.1.x).
The problem I've found is:
Randomly my 4 wireless clients can access the Internet via TL-WA730RE v2.
I said randomly because sometimes 1 client accesses the Internet and the other 3 clients don't.
If I restore the factory settings and try again, I get another client (or sometimes 2 clients of the 4) working and not the others.
If I try a 3rd time, with a reset, I might get a not-working client while this was working before or viceversa.
A valid IP address seem correctly assigned to ALL the clients though! It's in the range 192.168.1.x (so, the D-Link Wifi addresses).
The clients that don't access the Internet can't PING succesfully any IP address (local or Internet).
Have I got a faulty device?
Another problem I've experienced: the TIME settings get reset to the factory settings every time I turn off the device (or I unplug the device from the power supply). Is it normal?
