I also had initial problems with set up and took a long time figuring things out. I am using my WN2000RPT with an old Dlink G router (DI-624). The first problem I found with disconnects was from my changing the router's address and thus the gateway address. When the extender or a connected device went to access the internet the status led changed to red. I had set this up with manual settings. On fixing this, I found also that having extender connected devices in the fixed routing table on the Dlink also caused disconnects. When the Dlink sees a packet up from the extender with a mis-match of IP address and MAC address (which happens because of the extender), dlink logged a spoof attack and shut down the link. All traffic from the extender has the extender's IP and the specific devices MAC in the packet. The spoof attack caused the router to disconnected the extender and ...red led. Hope this might help folks here. My system is now up, stable and the discovery works. Took a long time to set up. I believe documentation needs to be upgraded.
