Looses connection
Hi, I have the EX6200 working in FastLane mode where it connects via 5Ghz to my router (AirPort Extreme last generation) and then using wires I connect some other stuff to it. Well, all this works...
I have been working a similar issue with support for a number of weeks. Every 1-7 days the extended would just stop allowing devices accessing it. That is, devices could see the SSID, but could not successfully make connection. (Not to be confused with a DNS issue that many seem have with this & other Netgear hardware - that's a different problem altogether and resolved thru use of fixed DNS setting of 8.8.8.8)
The last set of changes made included:
1) reload of latest firmware (although I already appeared to have it, they suggested it may have been "corrupt" and I should "re-flash")
2) full hardware reset with resultant default config
3) set ch to 6 (I was using 11 so think this may have just been an idea they had)
To date, things are looking good. I've been on the air for well over a week, however I did experience a blackout a few days ago so I still haven't reached that magic 7 continuous days as yet.
