WI-FI Router DIR-1750-US - S/N TM1910B001622 - H/W Ver A1 F/W Ver 1.11
WI-FI Extender DAP-1955-US - S/N TM4R208000212 - H/W Ver A2 F/W Ver 1.03
The extender is located 10 feet vertically and 16 feet horizontally from the router. Separated by a wood floor and 1 plaster & wood lath wall.
One thing I have learned is that setting up, rebooting and or saving anything with regards to these products, takes along time. Before you get to the completed procedure you may be 4 or 5 minutes watching the kettle boil.
I have set this up with both MESH and just as an extender. I have given up on the MESH and will be happy with just a functioning extender. Before you ask, I have changed the name and password of the WI-FI extender.
I have set up this extender now 15 times over the last 8 days. Using all of the setup procedures except the network cable attached method.
Each attempt is preceded by a unit reset.
I get the extender setup and I have all steady green lights. I unplug the extender and move it to the upstairs location, plug it in and it goes through the start up cycle. Finishing the start up cycle I have 3 solid green power lights and the WPS light is solid green.
This condition remains the same for a few hours and then I have no access to the extender, through the web interface of through the WI-FI devices. Previous to this fault I had had access.
Sometimes I go to the extender and find it with all of the lights still steady green sometimes I find that the WPS light is flashing amber. Sometimes just the WPS is flashing red.
The bottom line is that once it is set up, I would like it to stay set up.
