Model: RE550  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: RE550(EU)_V1_1.0.20 Build 230213

Hello everybody, hope you can help me.

I bought a RE550 to use it as access point, since i need a wi-fi connection to existing LAN to be able downloading files using FTP. I correctly setup the RE550 as extender, and for that it works good. But when switching to access point it starts behaving strange. Despite I correctly setup the wi-fi access networks - both 2.4Ghz and 5 Ghz - I kept the IP dynamic (i.e. i left automatic IP assignement from router to the RE550) and set to OFF the DHCP on the RE550, when it connects to LAN using ethernet cable, it constantly cause the IP number renewal from the router. Thias causes continuous dropping of connection and files errors in transferring. IP lease time on router is setup at 24h and it never caused problem with any other device until now.

 

Of course i updated to latest available firmware, but this did not solve the issue.

 

Does anyone experienced same problem? And, above all, how i can make the connection stable?

 

Thanks!

 

Federico

Hi, welcome to our community.

It is suggested to follow the troubleshooting steps below:

1. Set a static IP for the range extender (which is beyond DHCP Pool of main router) on the main router.

2. Double-check DHCP Server is disabled on the web UI of RE550.

3. Make sure the ethernet cable is connected to LAN port on main router, and change different LAN port and cable to rule out hardware problem.

4. Reset and reconfigure RE550 as AP mode to confirm again.

Thank you and best  regards.
