2 TP-Link Products not working well together
Cross posting in extender subforum as well, because I am not sure if this is a problem with the router, or the extender.
-------------------------------------------------
I have a TP-Link Archer A7 Router and a TP-Link re200 v2.0
The TPLink re200 apparently only gets onemesh at v3.0 and v4.0, so mine doesn't have it, even though I ordered it only 3 months ago.
However, you'd still think they could work okay together, being the whole point of the range extender is to extend the range.
I have my router on the main floor and my extender upstairs (connected via ethernet cable). The network names/passwords/etc. are the same.
The problem is when walking from upstairs to downstairs, connectivity is lost, and I have to toggle wifi on/off (or switch between the 2.4ghz and 5ghz networks, either way, essentially reconnect).
I've gone through every setting, troubleshooted multiple times, and it's very frustrating losing connection when merely walking downstairs.
Maybe OneMesh would fix this, maybe not, but it's hard to trust a company when their own products don't even work well together.
Thoughts?
