EX6200 - Stops assigning IP Addresses
Just purchased the EX6200 wifi extender two weeks ago and the setup went fine and network performance (speed/latency) was good. Recently, I am needing to reboot once a day in order for devices to be ...

Three days with no reboots required and counting (fingers crossed it continues). So it does appear to be the main router's configuration that was somehow messing with the EX6200. The previous factory reset was actually not a complete reset (operator error and it only reset some of the settings) but this one was complete and effective so far at ensuring the laptops / printers stay connected. This also helped isolate a different problem on the phone to a particular wifi prioritization app that was causing the dropoff of wifi.

Hi njmckenzie,
When you changed the lease time for the IP, are you also experiencing the issue when connected to just the router?
From the description you provided, it doesn't sound like it is an issue with the EX6200.
Please try to reset your Technicolor to factory defaults.

nhann - I am not experiencing any issues when connected to the main router (either wirelessly or wired). I am going to try factory reset on both the router and the extender and basically start from scratch. This morning, four reboots of the EX6200 have been done and each time, it will recognize some of the wired connections but not all, and none of the wireless connections.

The factory resets did not work and I am experiencing the same issues again.

I am trying again with the factory resets of the technicolor... We'll see tomorrow...
