I recently got a new computer that was unable to keep a steady connection to my WiFi because of the distance. At that point my Asus RT-AC66U router was connected directly to my modem.

I found a Zyxel P2812 (Standard for norwegian ISP "Telenor") in my car as I'm a telecommunications technician. I placed Zyxel router by the modem, then I set up my Asus router as a repeater and placed it a bit less than halfway to my computer. The network transmits with expected speed, but my computer will disconnect, usually within 5 minutes of reconnecting. The issue only affects this computer.

It would seem that the problem is between my computer and the repeater. I have been wondering if it could be a conflict with the firewall, but I don't have access to it while the router is in repeater mode, is it disabled? Both router and repeater have been upgraded with the latest firmware.

I usually don't do home networking, so I mostly know basics. Hope someone is able to help me!
