Hello,
I have a TP-link wireless router ( ) to distribute our ADSL wirelessly, although because ours is a long, thin flat with bits of pesky concrete I've had to add a range extender, TP-Link TL-WA830RE.
When it was first installed, it worked flawlessly (for about 24h!). Now, when connected either to the LAN port of the extender, or wirelessly at the end of the flat that the extender covers, the service is near-enough useless.
As far as I can establish, it isn't a wireless signal issue, as my macbook pro can pick up full strength signal at the point where the extender is located (with the extender switched off - ie picking up the router's signal).
Can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of getting to the bottom of the problem? I used to know router settings inside out, but with all the zero-configuration bits of kit I've been given by ISPs recently, I've got a bit rusty!
Thanks,
