Model: TL-WPA8630 KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.0.1 Build 170406 Rel.78322n

Hi,

 

I have 2 pcs connected to the Ethernet (using a switch) of the extender.

It was working perfectly for a while, and suddenly 1 PC lost its IP and it couldn't get one. I did all tests on the network card on this PC and all seem working although I was not sure how to test if the card works on another network (or router). I will do a test later.

 

The day after this issue... The 2nd PC had the same issue. Unfortunately this is my work laptop!

 

I succeeded to connect to the WiFi and it works great. Therefore only the Ethernet side is broken.

 

I have (Factory) reset the entire TP Link system.

And the result is still the same as above.

 

Any idea?

Do you know if there is a way to test the Ethernet part? 

How to force it to give me an IP address from the LAN?

 

Cheers

Hello@C.H ,  Do you have a switch between WPA8630P and 2* PCs? 

If when PC1/ PC2 drops out, WiFi connection of WPA8630P works fine, it could be some issue on the switch. As TL-WPA8630 has 3 Ethernet ports, you may remove the switch for a test and see if that fix the issue. 

You may try to set up a static IP on the desktop, and reserve a fixed IP address on the router for laptop (reserve IP for laptop's Mac on router UI)and see if that helps improve the stability. https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/41/
