EX6200 will not stay connected to Dell desk top computer

[earlweath]

Extender works fine but when computer is left idle for a day it is disconnected when I come back.

what router do you have it connected to? 

What firmware is on the extender? 

Do you have the computer hardwired in or wireless?
have you tried setting a static ip address for the computer in your router? 

[earlweath]

The router is spectrum equipment. I am about 50 yards from the router. 

I have it hardwared to my computer. 

I am using the extender just as it came out of the box.

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.

Thanks,
If this is the best solution I will need instructions on how to do this.

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.

Ubee, Model DVW32CB

Because spectrum likes to lock there stuff down, (even manuals) here's what I could find for assigning static ip addresses with that router.

Thanks, this might be a little over my head but I will study it some and see what I can do.
