EX7300 Wifi Extender

Hi, we use the above product in a domain environment and it does as we require however we have noticed a few problems and require some support.

 

WI-FI devices drop connection every so often although within acceptable range of the extender. we also noticed the DHCP server was getting constant BAD_ADDRESS errors so we looked into it further for some reason the extender seems to have every ip address and every time a client connects there is an ip conflict because the extender already has that ip. the extender is also constantly sending out ARP broadcasts for the default gateway.

 

Any Ideas?

    it seems to be only apple devices that are affected.

    Apple_xx:xx:xx Broadcast ARP 42 Who has 192.168.1.25? Tell 0.0.0.0

    Apple_xx:xx:xx Broadcast ARP 42 Gratuitous ARP for 192.168.1.25 (Request)

    xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx Broadcast ARP 42 Gratuitous ARP for 192.168.1.25 (Request) (duplicate use of 192.168.1.25 detected!)

     

    It repeats this process over and over changing the ip by one each time.

      Hello Jamieblack78

       

      Have you tried to assign a static Ip to these devices?

  • Yes still the same result they just hang for a good 10min before accepting the ip address
