I have an issue which I can't seem to get to the bottom of. My main router works great, but to increase the range I recently added a WiFi range extender.
The range extender was easy to set up, and worked immediately. I ended up with 2 separate access points (AP1 which is my main router, and AP2 which is the range extender). From any devices, I connect to either AP1 or AP2 SSID.
After between 12-24 hours however, AP2 is still visible, but I cannot connect to it from any device. The connection just fails.
Rebooting the range extender does not help. It's not until I reboot AP1 (main router) that AP2 starts working again. AP1 will be fully functional the whole time though.
I have tried fixing the router's WiFi channel in the router so that it doesn't change, and I have tried limiting it to just 20MHz mode. Neither of those settings seem to help.
Is there anything else I could try?
If it helps, I am using a BT HomeHub 3, and a Belkin D300 Range Extender.
