Wifi Extender Issues - EX7700
Hello, I have been running a Negear Nighthawk router (Tri Band Ax8 - RAX70) with the Router Firmware Version V1.0.19.172 without any issues. I purchased a Netgear Wifi extender EX7700 to expand th...
I assigned ip of 192.168.1.240 for the extender. I will need to come back once I have disabled SPC and checked configuration and IP addressing
Is that address put on the extender or reservied on the router?
I had put it on the extender.
Make sure that IP address is on in the routers default IP address pool range. Any static IP addresses need to be out side of the routers DHCP IP address pool range.
Hello all - apologies for slow response due to illness. Ok - so I can confirm that the extender IP is in the routers default IP pool range (192.168.1.?) and that the static IP (192.168.1.241) is outside the DHCP range as I had set the DHCP range to end at .230. Having tested a few time I still have the issue.
The issue seems to occur when the link between the Extender and Router is temporarily interupted - like when a microwave is used.
