ex 6150v2 connection problems after firmware upgrade

Range extender ex6150v2 worked seamlessley for 3 months 

then i recently upgraded firmeware on Ex 6150v2 to 1.0.1.70. 

ever since, I have had continuous connection problems. It constantly drops out somrtimes taking minutes to reconnect.

very frustrating.

i have reset back to factory settings twice and stil have te same problems.

is anyone else having this problem?

 

regards

Matt

Hi @mattyhut,

                       Do you experience this on both 2.4 and 5GHz bands?

Hi @mattyhut,

                       Try to modify wireless channel on router and repositioning extender to see if that helps. If not, downgrade firmware to see if that was the cause.
