EX6200 will not stay connected to Dell desk top computer
Extender works fine but when computer is left idle for a day it is disconnected when I come back.

If the spectrum router is whats handline dhcp lease times, it could be timing out. Try setting the computer with a static ip address in the spectrum router.

You'd need to contact spectrum for help with their router

I contacted Spectrum. They said that they only provide static IP addresses for business customers.
I guess I am stuck with the promblem. It is not too bad. When it disconnects I turn off the Wifi extender and turn it back on. It usually reconnects in about 3 minutes.

there's internal ip static addresses (computers, phones, tablets, etc) and external. Spectrum is correct in that for their external addresses.
Internal are set by the router.
what actual spectrum router is it.
