Can't get ip address

Hi dmilinevskyi,
This may occur if your extender is not getting better connection from your router. Since your extender is connected only to 5GHz of your router, please change 5GHz channel on router to see if that resolve your issue.

Good point!
Previously I've been using automatic channel selection on the router side but it caused problems as repeater didn't catch up if router decided to swap the channel.
So I've hardcoded it to 36. I've changed it to 52. Unfortunatelly I can't change the channel on the extender (I don't really understand why this options is not available).
I'll post an update after I finish my experiments (a couple of days to ensure that the "fix" is stable).
