Netgear Mesh AX1600 EAX12 loses wifi connection
Hi, I have a problem with this repeater, Happens a few times that it loses the wifi connection and then after 10-20 seconds it reactivates. Is there any way to solve this annoying problem?
Almost sounds like the device is rebooting. Or switching channels or something.
I'd second the suggestion to factory reset and start over. I've had to setup my device a number of times to finally get it to work. And attaching the app after manually setting it up doesn't seem to work (or didn't for me). Had to do the new device wizard in the app.
I'm experiencing this as well with EAX12, EAX15, and RAX35 router. Sometimes the RAX35 no longer broadcasts its SSIDs, as if it has ceded control to the extenders. All are at current firmware versions.
I got a TPLink RE705X and one thing I noticed when connecting to the RAX35 is that it didn't offer to repeat with the same SSID as the router, which is the default setting for the EAX12 & EAX15. Have gone days with the TPLink RE705X and the WiFi has not dropped or reduced speed.
