AC2200 Tri-Band Wifi Extender - Wrong Password

[Write2phil]

Hello All

Hope you doing well.

I use a NightHawk wifi extender to extend my Wifi accross the house.

Everything ran well for the set up and it perfectly connect to my routeur (not a netgear)

I set it up to use the same SSID and password as my routeur

It does the job but after few minutes or few days (depends) the devices trying to connect on WIFI using the NightHawk can't.

The reason I detect on the device is that it seems that the password to connect to the WIFI is not correct.

Once I restart the Nighthawk or do a factory reset, it ran again well until this situation happen again.

I have no clue where it can come from.

Is any one met the same situation and can help?

Thanks for the support.

Regards

Philippe

What router model are you connecting it to? 

What firmware is on the extender? 
Have you tried setting the extender with a static ip address from the router?

Sounds like .210 firmware problem, see:

FirHello

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late answer.

The model for my routeur is a Freebox Revolution provided by my ISP.

Firmware version on Extender is  V1.0.0.210

The extender use a static adress and not a DHCP one.

Looking at other answers I received I forgot to mention that this pb occur with my Samsung smartphone mainly
