Dear tom's Hardware,
Thanks for reading my Post
I've spent the past 17 consecutive hours trying to fix this issue and I'm at my wit's end.
I have a Netgear CG3100D-2 Modem and recently purchased a Wireless-N Wifi Repeater.
Please see this model: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Wireless-N-Wifi-Repeater-802-11n-b-g-Network-Wi-Fi-Routers-300Mbps-Range-Expander-Signal/32520830652.html
We needed a little extra coverage until we set up a new router. I set it up and it's working 95%. Getting great speeds.
There is one issue however. Everytime I log into the router and assign an IP for my mac In the DHCP Lease, it will work and assign it. But upon the repeater or net dropping out, the lease is deleted and cleared, and a new IP is assigned.
The lease is not remembered at all.
This happens for any device going through the repeater but they don't require static ips in the house. Mainly this Mac due to a number of port forwards required for my software.
A few things to note:
-DHCP is disabled on repeater
-Manually assigning IP with/without DHCP in mac network settings leads to no internet connection but connection to router and repeater pages. DHCP Client ID does nothing for me.
-Have played with Seperate and identical SSIDs for repeater
-Have rebooted devices
-Have run the set-up multiple times
-Have re-assigned leases multiple times in the hope they would stick.
-Tested many MAC addresses and not just my mac.
I don't know if it is a repeater issue or a DHCP lease issue with the router.
Some help would be amazing!
Thank you very much for your help.
