WN2000RPT requires restarts
Hi - I have managed to setup my WN2000RPT as follows: - Updated firmware to *.20 (nothing worked until I did) - Dynamic IP - WPA2 Security - Connected (also through Dynamic IP) to my wireless r...
My situation is so similar to the one of bpbyrne below. It can be summarized by:
- firmware 1.0.1.20
- Dynamic IP
- WPA2 Security.
- Connected (also through Dynamic IP) to my wireless router (Cisco X3000), which in turn connects to the Internet.
- Clients connecting to the WN2000RPT are a laptop, 2xiPads, 1xiPhone, 1xiPod.
Everything works just fine for several hours at a time, then all clients of the WN2000RPT lose Internet connection. While this is happening my main network (i.e. the one the extender connects to) is connecting to Internet just fine.
Powering down the WN2000RPT and starting it again fixes the issue - all clients automatically reconnect & all is well for another few hours, then the pattern repeats.
I have not yet tried static IPs, I don't even know what this would imply for the clients.
