Just picked up my wn3000rp and hooked it up to my d-link dir-855 main router.All my wireless clients can connect to the extended network without any problems but... after 10 minutes the connection is dropped between the router and the wn3000rp.I have tried to restore it to factory defaults and reconnect it. Same thing happens every time.MAC filtering is turned off on both ends.Any ideas would be helpful. Thank you.Nicklas

I am having the same problem so any advice would be great

I have exactly the same issue...

I'm experiencing problems as well. I have a number of devices connected both wirelessly and wired through a switch to the WN3000RP. Several times a day I'll lose connectivity to the internet on devices connected to the WN3000RP. I can generally still access the WN3000RP administration page (unless my DHCP lease has expired) and it always shows a connection to the parent WIFI network and a connection status of 'connected', but pinging the router (a wndr3700v1 that works flawlessly to my knowledge) just shows timeouts. Typically unplugging the WN3000RP and plugging it back in will restore connectivity, but this is not an acceptable long term solution.

I have the same issue with my WN3000RP. Wish there was a solution.

Have an Intel iMac, Airport Extreme basestation (APX), iPad, iPad2, iPhone4 and a recently acquired WN3000RP repeater. The iMac is not on the wireless network. Although the APX works great I had a range issue and got the repeater to solve it. For the first 2 weeks it worked as expected. Now it drops its connection to my network (green connection LED blinks off) about 2-3 minutes after it's selected to be my wireless network by one of my devices. Repeated calls to tech support :( take me through the same troubleshooting steps each time despite my protests. Changing encryption, wireless channels, re-installing, resetting, etc. have resolved nothing. Problem persists. I suspect that WPS may be the problem but I've been unable to deactivate it. Green LED comes on no matter how I set up the repeater.Any suggestions?

Ok will give that a go - I assume I can add further MAC addresses in the future?

    Excellent. Some devices are showing 2 MAC addresses, one is just labeled MAC and the other Virtual MAC - which should I use?
