Hey guys, I have a problem i'm hoping i can solve in a short amount of time, seeing as i'm starting an online class tomorrow. I live in a one story ranch house that is pretty spread out. My Internet is through North State Communications (out of High Point, NC), and it's gigabit fiber optic internet. For a while, my single TP-Link Archer c7 router was broadcasting pretty well on the end of the house where the bedrooms are, but the signal got very weak at the other end of the house. I bought a cheap winstars ac 750 signal repeater, which has actually done a fair job of transmitting some signal to the other end of the house, but i was looking for a little better speed. My solution was to buy TP-Link AV500 powerline adapters, one connected to the Archer, and the other connected to the repeater. Since doing this, (when the internet works), i'm getting much better speeds in the other end of the house.

My real problem i have been having for the past two days is that any device connected to the Archer C7 on the 2.4ghz band is getting a constant DNS error. This didn't happen when i first installed the set up. Can anyone help me with this issue? I'd be happy to provide any extra information anyone needs. Sorry for the long post!
