Hi everyone,

Having issues that I hope someone might be able to help. I'm just your regular geek, so please bear with me as I'm no pro.

Setup is Archer C2 in WDS Bridge mode (2.4GHz) to pick up a weak wifi signal, and re-transmit with the 5Ghz so as to extend coverage. Here are my issues.

- Have to reboot the unit 4-5 times a day, as it drops connection on the 5Gz. A simple unplug/plug of seconds fixes this. Very annoying. I changed the properties and dropped the 802.11 a protocol, I think it may have helped a little

- Once I finish setup as per TP-Link's tutorial, disable DHCP and reboot, I am no longer able to connect to the admin page to change configs. I need to reset are start the config all over again. 192.168.1.1, x.x.0.1 does nothing, nor the specific IP's I set for each antennae, wired or wireless.

- When everything is up an running fine, I can't seem to get a known ethernet cable to work. Is WDS Bridge limited to wifi only?

- In WDS mode, will I be able to use the USB port as a file server ?

thanks!
