cannot find wireless repeating function in my D1500's console settings

Hi,

 

I am trying to enable the wireless repeating function on my D1500 router. As per the instructions there should be an option called "Wireless Repeating Function"

in the advanced settings of the admin console page. This option is not shown for my router !

Does anyone know if this option is only supported by some specific variant of D1500s ?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Weirdly i the option showed up after downgrading to the firmware version: D1500_V1.0.0.15 and it works perfectly Smiley Happy

Not sure why it was removed in the newer versions.

Thanks for your time anyway antinode

   Firmware version?

   "As per" which "the instructions"?  I see it in a picture in the User
Manual, but not in the text.  I'd guess bad documentation (and/or
firmware changes over time).

   My D7000 (V1.0.1.64_1.0.1) doesn't have it, either, but that agrees
with its docs.

Hello antiNode,

 

Really appreciate the quick response !

 

Firmware version is V1.0.0.27_1.0.1PE

 

I have attached a screenshot of the console.

 

I read about the function in the online FAQ at https://kb.netgear.com/26900/D1500-FAQ-s (section Can D1500 act as a repeater?)

   That all looks reasonable, unless you expect reality to agree with
the documentation.  Have you tried the official Netgear support
channels, or would that now be costly?
