Hi: Purchased this recently and have had issue with connecting to the wifi ap on my cable modem. Initially ipads, phones, laptops connected OK but now I have to powecycle the extender multiple times...

Thanks. Tried all that and it didn't help at all. Just resetting modem and extender every day, which is unacceptable.

Hello paulfoot007

 

Have you tried to re position the extender to a different location?

        No I haven't yet, It appears to be some sort of DHCP conflict, I notice my laptop gets a 169.x.x.x address which is a default when you don't have an IP.   Also, it is possible there is an issue with a MAC table not flushing correctly. I am going to try changing configuration on the gateway to extend the lease time to 24 hours and try to statically assign IP outside of the pool. Pretty frustrating.
