On this set-up I have a Netgear N300 (DGND3300) ADSL2+ Router that works fine for wired connections and wireless. I then have 3 x WNR2000RPT Repeaters which all connect happily for so many hours then will not allow access to the internet. Rebooting the repeaters often makes no difference, but rebooting the router and repeaters gets it all going again. The hotel are not happy about re-booting all these every day and the customers moaning that they can't access the internet.
I've tried all suggestions I can find on this forum and others. All repeaters and router have the latest firmware. I've got the same repeater at home linked to a virgin superhub (netgear unit I believe) and never have a problem with it losing the net side of things.
It could be the router hence why it seems to also need a reboot but when the repeaters are not working correctly I can still connect to the router via wired or wireless and access the net etc.
I'm at a loss what to do next bar remove them all and start again with none netgear stuff.
I'm going through the same issues. This Netgear repeater is a piece of crap. I have tried everything and it still dropping internet access. This model should never been released from Netgear. So many people going through the same issue. it's last thing I bought from Netgear.
