EX6120 malfunctioning when heating - had it replaced and the new one malfunctions too!
Hello, My EX6120 has been working fine for slightly less than a year, then it started misbehaving: it was randomly loosing the connection (and sometimes rebooting) every 10-20 minutes or even les...
oops...!
Sorry, "it worked five for just days!" was supposed to be "it worked fine for just five days!" :smileyvery-happy:
Hi,
I haven't found a solution, but rather a temporary workaround.
I do need a stable WiFi connection for remote working, so I've connected the EX6120 to one of the router's Ethernet ports using a 10m long cable, and reconfigured it as an access point.
I've noticed that:
- it's still hot, but not overheating as much as it did when it was set up as a range extender;
- it doesn't seem to reboot any more;
- WiFi rarely drops the connection, though it still happens a few times per day.
Obviously, it's just a temporary workaround: having a ten meters long cable laid across my living room's floor is definitely not the best way to extend WiFi coverage!
Incidentally, WiFi signal strenght is still very poor; moving more than one single room ahead it's almost impossible to connect.
