Phones can't connect to TL-WA801ND in access point mode
Model : TL-WA901ND
Hardware Version : 3
Firmware Version : 3.16.9 Build 160223 Rel.48414n
Laptops connect just fine to the access point, but any mobile phones cannot get an IP address.
Things I've tried:
* Disabling DHCP
* Ensuring MAC address filtering is off
* Disabling Short GI
* Disabling WMM
* Updating firmware to the latest version
Note: It's in access point mode... repeater mode would be useless this far away from the router
If I switch the AP off and on, my phone will connect fine if I do it immediately, and it will even stay connected. However, if I try to reconnect, say, 5 minutes after restarting the AP, it'll say 'Connecting...' then just not bother. This occurs on both Android and iPhone.
Does anybody know if this is a known issue or if there are any workarounds? Otherwise I might as well return the product, as it's kind of useless if our phones won't connect to it!
Thanks!
