Extender disconnects at specific time each day
Hi I have Hardware Version: WN3000RPv3 Firmware Version: V1.0.2.86 At a specific time each day, all the devices that are connected to my extender, are disconnected for almost a minute, a...
Hi
Yes, I assigned a static IP address to the extender.
And, yes, the lease time is exactly 12 hours.
I changed it to a longer period, so this should solve the problem.
However, it is not clear to me why the extender had such a weird behaviour.
Before I had another extender (of a different brand) and this never happened.
Is something related to specific settings of this extender?
Thank you for your help
it could just be that that device was originally made in 2013.
Again, not sure what router you have but if it doesn't automatically renew/update the dhcp issue and the extender is a older device, it could just need the static address to ensure the connection.
Just throwing ideas out there.
Thank you for your answer
The router is a "basic" one provided by my ISP.
However, I changed the DHCP lease time to one month (744 hours), but I still have the same issue.
I have restarted the extender several times (and I have also kept it off for several hours), but the situation did not change.
It always disconnects at a specific time every 12 hours (the exact time should at least change, since it has been closed for several hours, right?).
Do you have any other suggestion that I can try?
Thanks
