Hello Members of the Forum. i would like to ask your help about issues i'm facing with RE210. I bought the RE210 a week ago in order to extend the WiFi network and be able to use both bands 2.4GHz & 5GHz since i do have devices that work in both bands. The reason i purchased RE210 was to have a better signal for the 2 of the 3 Foscam Web cameras i have inside my house. Setup was really easy (either through WPS setup or through Web GUI). I finished the setup and connected the RE210 to another TP-Link product (N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router, Model TDW8980) which i can say that i'm 1000% satisfied and works perfectly those 3,5 years. After finishing setup of RE210 i connected this device 4 meters away from the Main router and copied the configuration of both bands as per setup wizard. I changed also the WiFi connections of the cameras to the new Wireless Extender device RE210 since they are closer (1 - 2 meters away) so i can experience better signal and indeed scanning the Wireless Networks through the cameras device management gui, they show that RE210 has full singnal. i even checked in the RE210 GUI what signal strength it shows and in 2.4GHz it shows 70% signal strenght, and in 5GHz band it shows 48% signal strength. I thought that this signal is good enough for the Web Cameras to work better than previously. Unfortunately, cameras refuse to connect, and when sometimes (in random time) they connect after a while ago they loose their connection. I tried to change RE210 SSID (assuming a conflict) and tried to connect to the custom SSID (...._EXT). I reconnected the 2 WebCameras to the new SSID but again i face the same issues. The reason i selected RE210 was to avoid compatibility issues and also i was full satisfied with the operation of my ADSL2+ Router (TDW8980) so i told my wife that our only selection is TP-Link :D.
My Wireless Router firmware Version is : 0.6.0 1.5 v000e.0 Build 140408 Rel.49241n
Hardware Version is: TD-W8980 v1 00000000
My RE210 firmware Version is : RE210_V1_141204_EU.
Till now i spend one week trying to make RE210 work and being stable (since there are some occasional times when LED that shows signal strength goes to RED for 1-2 seconds and then back to Green. And of course i'm noticing Time-out's from Cameras Device Management GUI.
Any help will be highly appreciated. For my it is critical to find a work around even with RE210, or a better solution from TP-LINK or not. And when i disabled the RE210 the cameras went back online and immediately connected to the TP-Link Router TDW8980.
So although i'm not a Network Expert i can't explain why this is happening.
Thank you in advance for any kind of help you can provide in order to solve this issue.
Regards,
Yannis
