Wifi Extender Limited Number of Connections, Devices Dropping, EX6200
So I currently have my EX6200 setup with my cable provider router. I have 2 issues: 1.) I was able to achieve, using the smart setup (2.5GHz to router, 5GHz with devices) get something like ...
I've never personally used an EX6200, but firmware updates for routers often require a factory reset due to incompatible configuration changes. So, try performing a factory reset and reconfigure by hand. Do not reload a saved configuration file.
If the factory reset doesn't help, try downgrading back to your previous release.
Thanks for the reply.
I actually found answers in 2 other threads that I didn't find when searching on this site directly nor google. Ironicially creating this case then created a "recommended / similar" cases on the right that I then utilized. First I followed this solution:
And after resetting both the modem and the extender - seemed to work for about 1.5 weeks. However the problem is now back with the devices not connecting anymore.
So now I'm going to follow the recommendation of a thread I found through that same method, and now I cannot anymore because the recommended cases are not the same. :( Anyway it was similar to what you are recommending, like this thread:
So as of now my problem is still not solved. I have a feeling it's related to this latest firmware, so downgrading to .98 - what I had before - will eliminate both issues.
Crossing my fingers!
Well I just did the downgrade to .98, and my devices connected immediately. So although happy, not entirely going to count my chickens before they hatch yet.
Will monitor this for another 2 weeks, and if it stays stable - will consider it closed.
Thanks again for the reply!
