What router are you connecting it to?
Are you setting it up using wps or using the installation assistant?

I couldn't find much info on that router (never a good sign)
A couple things you can try.
1. update the firmware on that extender. Looks a couple behind
2. setup the extender with a static ip address in your router
thank you Plemans
Yeah I know is a crappy router but I am forced to use it (long story short: by contract I have to use their router)
I will try what you suggested, hope this can help and solve the issuethank you again for your help!
The EX6150 has an access point mode if you hardwire it into the router.
Not sure the specs on your router but you could always see how that performs in comparision.
